Summary

The WP Directory Kit plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'order_by' parameter in all versions up to and including 1.4.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute if they can trick a user into performing an action such as clicking a link.

Risk Assessment

Malicious JavaScript may execute in a user's browser, potentially leading to session theft or account compromise.

Recommendation

Update the WP Directory Kit plugin to a version later than 1.4.5.
