Descriptions

The BackupBuddy WordPress plugin before 8.8.3 does not sanitise and escape some parameters before outputting them back in various places, leading to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting

The BackupBuddy plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting several parameters in versions up to, and including, 8.8.2 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.
