Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence.
The Download Monitor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 1.6.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on remove_query_arg and add_query_arg. This makes it possible for attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in a victim's browser.
