WordPress Plugin Alemha Watermarker 1.3.1 – Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

The Alemha Watermarker Wordpress Plugin version 1.3.1 is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data in the 'watermark_title' field. An attacker can insert malicious scripts in the Watermark Text field, which will execute whenever a user attempts to edit the page.

Mitigation:

Ensure all user-supplied input is properly sanitized and encoded before being stored or displayed. Regularly update the plugin to the latest version to prevent such vulnerabilities.
