Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Ajax Load More and Infinite Scroll plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.6.0

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the id parameter due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.6.0, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue to prevent exploitation. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the id parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
