Description

The Stop Spammers WordPress plugin before 2021.9 did not escape user input when blocking requests (such as matching a spam word), outputting it in an attribute after sanitising it to remove HTML tags, which is not sufficient and lead to a reflected Cross-Site Scripting issue.

Affected products and versions

  • Trumani Stop Spammers — From 2021.9 (including) to 2021.9 (excluding)
  • trumani stop_spammers — Before 2021.9
