Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions cybernetikz Easy Social Icons versions 3.2.4 and earlier

Description The issue is related to improper neutralization of input during web page generation, which allows stored cross-site scripting (XSS).

The estimated number of potentially affected devices worldwide is not available. There is no information about real-world incidents where this issue was exploited.
