Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Newsletters plugin for WordPress versions up to 4.9.9.7

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the logging functionality due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to 4.9.9.7, update to a version later than 4.9.9.7 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the logging functionality until a patch is available.
