CVSS v3.1
6.4
Medium
| 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
WordPress Book Plugin for Displaying Books in Grid, Flip, Slider, Popup Layout and more plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.3.1
Description
The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'gs book showcase' 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, 1.3.1, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the 'gs book showcase' shortcode until a patch is available.
Avoid using the 'gs book showcase' shortcode with user-supplied attributes until the issue is resolved.
Fix
XSS
