Descriptions

The wpbrutalai WordPress plugin before 2.0.1 does not sanitise and escape a parameter before outputting it back in the page, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting which could be used against a logged in high privilege users such as admin.

The WP Brutal AI plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in versions before 2.0.1 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.

WordPress WP Brutal AI plugin versions prior to 2.0.1 suffer from a cross site scripting vulnerability.
