Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WP Search Analytics plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.4.10

Description The WP Search Analytics plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting due to the use of add query arg without appropriate escaping on the URL. This makes it possible for 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.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.4.10, update to a version later than 1.4.10 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the plugin's functionality to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the add query arg function without proper escaping until the issue is resolved.
