Executive Summary

The MaxButtons – Create buttons plugin for WordPress has a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the 'view' parameter in all versions up to and including 9.8.5.

This vulnerability exists because the plugin does not properly sanitize input or escape output, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts.

An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by tricking a user into clicking a malicious link, causing the injected script to execute in the user's browser.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can lead to the execution of malicious scripts in the context of a user's browser when they interact with a crafted link.

Potential impacts include theft of user credentials, session hijacking, defacement of web pages, or redirection to malicious sites.

Since the attacker does not need to be authenticated, any user visiting the affected site could be at risk.
