Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Ma3sTr0-Dz.

The Sermon Browser plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting via the 'file_name' parameter in versions before 0.43.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in a victim's browser.
