Summary
The webtoffee-gdpr-cookie-consent WordPress plugin before 2.6.1 does not properly sanitize and escape the IP headers when logging them, allowing visitors to conduct Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. The payload gets triggered when an admin visits the 'Consent report' page and the malicious script is executed in the admin context.
