Description
The Download Monitor WordPress plugin before 5.3.4 does not properly validate that a clicked link belongs to the site before fetching it client-side and rendering part of the response in the page, which allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the browser of any user who is tricked into clicking a crafted link.
