This vulnerability in Hiren Patel's Custom Users Order plugin (versions up to 4.2) is due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation, resulting in a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw. The CVSS 3.1 score is 7.1 (high), with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, scope changed, and impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability allows attackers to inject malicious scripts via crafted input that is reflected in web pages without proper sanitization.

Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of the victim's browser, potentially leading to information disclosure, session hijacking, or other impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. The CVSS vector indicates a high impact on all three security properties.
