Short explanation
The KeyWord Collector WordPress plugin through 1.4 lacks authorisation or nonce checks when saving its settings, allowing unauthenticated attackers to store and execute malicious JavaScript.
Unauthenticated attackers can update plugin settings to trigger stored XSS, potentially targeting administrators or visitors loading affected pages.
What should be done?
- Follow vendor advisories and updates
- Apply patches addressing authorisation gaps in plugin settings
- Monitor vendor announcements as patch status cannot be reliably concluded from current sources
