Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions ScanCircle plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.9.2

Description The issue arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the plugin's scancircle shortcode. 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, 2.9.2, update to version 2.9.3 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the scancircle shortcode to minimize the risk of exploitation.
