This can allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.

Mitigation:

Update to the latest version of the Safe Search plugin for Wordpress, which should include a fix for this vulnerability. Additionally, it is recommended to implement input validation and sanitization practices in web applications to prevent cross-site scripting attacks.
