Until an official fix is available, users should avoid clicking on untrusted links that include the 'pdf-source' parameter targeting affected versions. Monitoring vendor channels for updates and applying patches promptly when released is recommended.

Description

The Dear Flipbook – PDF Flipbook, 3D Flipbook, PDF embed, PDF viewer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to DOM-Based Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘pdf-source’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.65 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.
