Title
MpOperationLogs <= 1.0.1 - Unauthenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting
Summary
The MpOperationLogs plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the IP Request Headers in versions up to, and including, 1.0.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
