Official description
The Complianz – GDPR/CCPA Cookie Consent plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's cmplz-accept-link shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 7.4.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes.
