Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Activity Log plugin versions prior to 2.4.1 for WordPress

Description The issue allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript or HTML via a title that is not properly escaped, potentially leading to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. This could enable attackers to execute malicious scripts on the client-side.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.4.1, update to version 2.4.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting user input for titles to minimize the risk of exploitation.
