WordPress · Url Shortify · CVE-2023-5605
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
URL Shortify WordPress plugin versions prior to 1.7.9.1
**Description**
The issue allows high privilege users, such as admins, to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks, even when the unfiltered html capability is disallowed, for example, in a multisite setup. This is due to the plugin not sanitizing and escaping some of its settings.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 1.7.9.1, update to version 1.7.9.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the plugin's settings for high privilege users until the update is applied.
