Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Garden Gnome Package plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.2.8

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'ggpkg' shortcode due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes, such as 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 2.2.8, update to version 2.2.9 to fully patch the issue. For version 2.2.7, note that the patch is partial, and it is recommended to update to version 2.2.9 for a full fix. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the 'ggpkg' shortcode for users with contributor-level and above permissions until the issue is resolved.
