What the vulnerability does
The Geo Widget plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the URL path in all versions up to, and including, 1.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
Geo Widget versions 1.0 and earlier contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into the application. An attacker can craft a malicious link or page that, when visited by a user, executes arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's browser. This can lead to session hijacking, credential theft, or defacement.
What an attacker can do
Inject and execute malicious JavaScript in a user's browser to steal session data or credentials.
Potential impact on your site
Users visiting affected pages may have their sessions compromised or credentials stolen without their knowledge.
Conditions required to exploit
No authentication required. Victim must visit an attacker-controlled page or click a malicious link.
