Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability in Welcomizer WordPress Plugin
The Welcomizer plugin for WordPress is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This can allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
Mitigation:
Update to the latest version of the Welcomizer plugin to fix this vulnerability. Verify that user-supplied input is properly sanitized and validated before using it in any context.
