Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: User Activation Email WordPress plugin versions up to and including 1.3.0

Description: The issue allows attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts via Reflected Cross-Site Scripting. This is possible through the uae-key parameter found in the ~/user-activation-email.php file.

Recommendations: For versions up to and including 1.3.0, update to a version higher than 1.3.0 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the ~/user-activation-email.php file or avoiding the use of the uae-key parameter until a patch is available.
