Descriptions

The method and share GET parameters of the Giveaway pages were not sanitised, validated or escaped before being output back in the pages, thus leading to reflected XSS

El método y los parámetros de compartir GET de las páginas del Sorteo no se sanearon, validaron o escaparon versiones anteriores a volver a aparecer en las páginas, lo que conllevó a un XSS reflejado

The Simple Giveaways for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'method' and 'share' parameters in versions up to, and including, 2.36.1 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.
