ANALYZED

This CVE record has been analyzed and enriched by NVDAPI.com as an independent party.

Description

Simple Link Directory through 9.0.4 interpolates the sld_no_results_found option into a JavaScript string literal without encoding. Because sanitize_text_field leaves quotes intact, a stored payload breaks out of the string and runs script for every page visitor.
