Lifterlms · Lms By Lifterlms · CVE-2021-24308
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
LMS by LifterLMS – Online Course, Membership & Learning Management System Plugin for WordPress versions prior to 4.21.1
**Description**
The issue arises from the improper sanitization of the `State` field in the Edit profile page, which can lead to a stored Cross-Site Scripting issue when output in the About section of the profile page. This could allow low-privilege users, such as students, to elevate their privileges via an XSS attack when an admin views their profile.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 4.21.1, update to version 4.21.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Edit profile page and the About section of the profile page to minimize the risk of exploitation.
