Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Simple Banner plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 2.11.0

Description The issue arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping, allowing authenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts via the pro version activation code parameter. This enables the execution of scripts whenever a user with access to the Simple Banner plugin's settings views the page.

Recommendations For Simple Banner plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 2.11.0, update to a version later than 2.11.0 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the plugin's settings to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the pro version activation code parameter in the affected plugin until the issue is resolved.
