An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This can allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks. WordPress Plugin Image Hover Effects Ultimate (Image Gallery, Effects, Lightbox, Comparison or Magnifier) version 9.7.1 is vulnerable; prior versions may also be affected.
