What the vulnerability does
The Like DisLike Voting plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the `$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']` variable in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
Like DisLike Voting versions 1.0.1 and earlier contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that allows attackers to inject malicious scripts. An attacker can craft a malicious link or page that, when visited by a site user, executes arbitrary JavaScript in the user's browser. This can lead to session hijacking, credential theft, or defacement.
What an attacker can do
Inject and execute malicious JavaScript in users' browsers when they visit a crafted page or click a malicious link.
Potential impact on your site
Users visiting affected pages may have their sessions hijacked, credentials stolen, or see site content modified without authorization.
Conditions required to exploit
A site user must visit an attacker-controlled page or click a malicious link; no authentication required.
