What to do

AI-suggested

Since the vulnerability affects all versions up to 6.6, users should monitor the vendor's advisory for updates and apply any forthcoming patches promptly. Until a fix is available, consider disabling or restricting access to the vulnerable plugin to mitigate risk.

Description

The Simple User Registration plugin for WordPress contains a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability via the 'wpr_admin_msg' parameter in all versions up to and including 6.6. This vulnerability arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary scripts that execute when a user accesses the affected page.
