Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Store Locator WordPress plugin versions prior to 1.4.13

Description The issue is related to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting problem. It occurs because the plugin does not properly sanitise and escape an invalid nonce before outputting it back in an AJAX response. This could be exploited against high-privilege users, such as administrators.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.4.13, update to version 1.4.13 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to AJAX responses that include nonces to minimize the risk of exploitation.
