WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
OpenID Connect Generic Client 3.8.0-3.8.1 - Reflected Cross Site Scripting (XSS) via Login Error
Description
The plugin did not sanitise the login error when output back in the login form, leading to a reflected Cross-Site Scripting issue. This issue does not require authentication and can be exploited with the default configuration.
