AI-suggested

Users should monitor the contrid Newsletters plugin vendor announcements for updates and apply any official fixes once available. Until then, administrators should exercise caution when clicking links related to the plugin and consider restricting access to the plugin's functionality or disabling it if feasible.

Description

The Newsletters plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the "to" parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.9.9.7 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 an admin user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
