AI-suggested

Until an official fix is available, users should consider disabling or removing the FAQ Builder AYS plugin or implementing web application firewall (WAF) rules to filter malicious input targeting the 'ays_faq_tab' parameter. Educate users to avoid clicking suspicious links related to the affected site.

Description

The FAQ Builder AYS plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'ays_faq_tab' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.7.1 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.
