Description

The Simple Download Monitor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 3.8.8 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the User-Agent header. This makes it possible for attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in a victim's browser.
