Description
The WangGuard plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'user_ip' variable in version 1.8.0 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.
