Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Media Library Assistant plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.23

Description The issue is related to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the smc settings tab, unattachfixit-action, and woofixit-action parameters 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.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 3.23, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the smc settings tab, unattachfixit-action, and woofixit-action parameters until a patch is available.
