Descriptions

The wp-affiliate-platform WordPress plugin before 6.5.1 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 high privilege users such as admin

El complemento wp-affiliate-platform de WordPress anterior a 6.5.1 no sanitiza ni escapa un parámetro antes de devolverlo a la página, lo que genera Cross-Site Scripting Reflejado que podría usarse contra usuarios con altos privilegios, como el administrador.

The WP Affiliate Platform plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'wp_aff_referrer' parameter in all versions up to 6.5.1 (exclusive) 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.
