Until an official fix is available, consider implementing web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block malicious payloads in the 'X-Forwarded-For' header. Monitor plugin updates from the vendor and apply official patches promptly once released.

Description

The Secure Copy Content Protection and Content Locking plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'X-Forwarded-For' HTTP header in all versions up to, and including, 4.9.8 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.
