Last modified
CVE-2023-6737 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.1/10 on the CVSS scale. The Enable Media Replace plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the SHORTPIXEL_DEBUG parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.1.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.
