Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Terms descriptions plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.4.6

Description The issue arises from the use of add query arg without proper escaping on the URL, leading to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages, which execute when a user performs a specific action, such as clicking on a link.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 3.4.6, update to a version higher than 3.4.6 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the plugin's functionality until a patch is available.
