What the vulnerability does
The Currency Switcher for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting due to the use of add_query_arg without appropriate escaping on the URL in all versions up to, and including, 2.16.2. 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.

An attacker can inject malicious scripts that execute in visitors' browsers when they interact with the plugin's functionality. The vulnerability requires user interaction and can affect multiple users across the site. Update to a version newer than 2.16.2 to resolve this issue.
