CVE-2021-24921

The Advanced Database Cleaner plugin prior to version 3.0.4 contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability stemming from improper handling of GET request parameters. Attackers could craft malicious URLs containing unsanitized and unescaped data that would be reflected directly into HTML attributes when processed by the plugin. This flaw allows threat actors to inject arbitrary JavaScript code that executes in the browsers of users who click on specially crafted links. Updating to version 3.0.4 or later resolves this vulnerability.
