Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Newsletter Manager plugin for WordPress versions prior to 1.0.2

Description The issue allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML, potentially leading to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. This can be achieved through various parameters, including xyz em campName in admin/create campaign.php or admin/edit campaign.php, xyz em email in admin/edit email.php, xyz em exportbatchSize in import export.php, or by manipulating the pagination limit in the Newsletter Manager options.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.0.2, update to version 1.0.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the affected API endpoints, such as admin/create campaign.php, admin/edit campaign.php, admin/edit email.php, and import export.php, until the update is applied. Avoid using the vulnerable parameters, such as xyz em campName, xyz em email, and xyz em exportbatchSize, in the affected endpoints until the issue is resolved.
