Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WordPress Visitors plugin for WordPress version 1.0

Description The WordPress Visitors plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via a spoofed HTTP Header value due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses the nm vistior page.

Recommendations For version 1.0, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue to prevent Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the nm vistior page to minimize the risk of exploitation.
