Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The AutoListicle: Automatically Update Numbered List Articles plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.2.3

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'auto-list-number' shortcode due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.2.3, consider disabling the 'auto-list-number' shortcode until a patch is available to prevent exploitation. Restrict access to pages that use this shortcode to minimize the risk of arbitrary web script injection. As a temporary workaround, ensure that all user-supplied attributes are properly sanitized and escaped to prevent malicious input.
