What to do

AI-suggested

Until a fix is available, administrators should limit access to the Activity Log settings page and consider additional web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block suspicious REQUEST_URI payloads.

Description

The Automatic.css plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via REQUEST_URI in all version 4.0.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that will execute whenever an administrator accesses the Activity Log settings page.
