AI-suggested
Until an official fix is available, restrict access to the WordPress admin interface and monitor for suspicious activity. Consider disabling or removing the Auto Affiliate Links plugin if it is not essential. Avoid visiting the admin statistics page from untrusted networks or devices. Follow the vendor's updates closely for any released patches or official mitigations.
Description
The Auto Affiliate Links WordPress plugin up to version 6.8.8 contains a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This occurs due to improper input sanitization of the 'url' POST parameter and lack of output escaping when displaying stored URLs in the admin statistics page. Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this via a publicly exposed AJAX endpoint, injecting malicious scripts that execute in an administrator's browser. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 7.2 and is classified as high severity.
