| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
The Bellows Accordion Menu plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.4.2
Description
The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via shortcodes due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Recommendations
For versions up to, and including, 1.4.2, update to a version higher than 1.4.2 to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the shortcode feature to minimize the risk of exploitation.
Restrict permissions to prevent contributors and above from injecting arbitrary web scripts.
Fix
XSS
