Description

A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Comments WordPress plugin before version 7.6.60. The plugin does not properly escape user-supplied URLs before outputting them inside HTML attributes. This allows unauthenticated users to store malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of users who view the affected content, including administrators.
