Prevent XSS Vulnerability

This WordPress plugin helps safeguard your website against two common types of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities:

This plugin provides several layers of protection:

Blocking: When enabled, the plugin scans URLs for specific parameters. If any of the listed parameters are found in the URL, the plugin redirects the user to prevent potential XSS attacks. You can customize the list by excluding specific parameters you still want to allow.
