Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions MaxButtons plugin versions prior to 1.26.1

Description A cross-site scripting (XSS) issue allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the id parameter in a button action on the "maxbuttons-controller" page to "wp-admin/admin.php", related to the button creation page.

Recommendations For MaxButtons plugin versions prior to 1.26.1, update to version 1.26.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the maxbuttons-controller page in wp-admin/admin.php to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the id parameter in the affected button action until the issue is resolved.
