Deeper analysis
The KiviCare WordPress plugin before version 3.2.1 is affected by a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability. The issue stems from insufficient sanitization and escaping of a user-supplied parameter that is subsequently reflected back in the page output, as described in the CVE record with a CVSS v3.1 score of 6.1.
An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit the flaw by crafting a malicious link and enticing a high-privilege user such as an administrator to click it, resulting in script execution in the victim's browser context with the potential to perform actions on behalf of that user.
