📄 Description (English)

The Optimole – Optimize Images in Real Time plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via URL paths in versions up to, and including, 4.2.3 This is due to insufficient output escaping on user-supplied URL paths in the get_current_url() function, which are inserted into JavaScript code via str_replace() without proper JavaScript context escaping in the replace_content() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

🤖 AI Executive Summary

The Optimole WordPress plugin versions up to 4.2.3 contain a reflected XSS vulnerability in URL path handling that allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts. Attackers can exploit this by tricking users into clicking crafted links that execute arbitrary JavaScript in their browsers.
