Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions salavat counter Plugin plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 0.9.1

Description The issue is related to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link. The page parameter is specifically vulnerable to this type of attack.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 0.9.1, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue to prevent Reflected Cross-Site Scripting attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the page parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
