CVE-2019-16525
An XSS issue was discovered in the checklist plugin before 1.1.9 for WordPress.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (5.52%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
An XSS issue was discovered in the checklist plugin before 1.1.9 for WordPress. The fill parameter is not correctly filtered in the checklist-icon.php file, and it is possible to inject JavaScript code.
