Until an official fix is released, users should consider applying temporary mitigations such as disabling the plugin or restricting access to affected pages if feasible. Monitor the vendor’s official channels for updates and apply patches promptly once available.

Description

The WP Cookie Consent ( for GDPR, CCPA & ePrivacy ) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘Client-IP’ header in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
