 "title": "WPLP Cookie Consent – Cookie Banner & Consent Management for GDPR, CCPA & Google Consent Mode <= 4.4.6 - Unauthenticated Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via Script Blocker Placeholder Tokens",
 "description": "The WPLP Cookie Consent plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the script blocker's output buffer processing in all versions up to, and including, 4.4.6. This is due to the plugin turning the fixed placeholder token '_LT_' back into '<' (and '_NL_'/'_RNL_' into line breaks) everywhere in the front-end page output, so user-controlled text that the page prints already escaped, such as a search term, can become HTML markup. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that run if they can trick a user into clicking a crafted link. The script blocker must be enabled.",
