This vulnerability is a reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) flaw in the geotargetingwp WordPress plugin before version 3.5.6.2. It occurs because the plugin does not properly sanitize or escape certain parameters before reflecting them back in AJAX responses with an HTML content type. Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this to inject malicious scripts that execute when a victim submits a specially crafted request.
