What the vulnerability does
The MaxButtons – Create buttons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'view' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 9.8.5 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

An attacker can inject malicious scripts that execute in a visitor's browser when they view a page containing a vulnerable button. The vulnerability requires user interaction and can affect other users or site functionality. Update to a version newer than 9.8.5 to resolve this issue.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious scripts that run in visitors' browsers when they view pages with vulnerable buttons.
Potential impact on your site
