What the vulnerability does
The CM Custom Reports plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'date_from' and 'date_to' parameters in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.7 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
CM Custom Reports versions 1.2.7 and earlier contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. An attacker can inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of other users who view affected pages. The vulnerability requires user interaction—typically clicking a malicious link—and can affect users across different parts of the application. No authentication is required to exploit this flaw.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious scripts that run in other users' browsers when they visit a crafted link.
Potential impact on your site
Users' sessions could be hijacked, credentials stolen, or site content modified in their browsers.
Conditions required to exploit
No authentication required. The victim must click a malicious link or visit an attacker-controlled page.
