 "title": "WP Customer Area <= 8.4.1 - Unauthenticated Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via Edit Account Biography Field",
 "description": "The WP Customer Area plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the Biography field of the 'Edit account' page in all versions up to, and including, 8.4.1 due to the form being refilled with raw submitted POST values without a verified form submission and without output escaping in the textarea field renderer. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a logged-in user into submitting a crafted form, for example by visiting an attacker-controlled page.",
