Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Scratch & Win – Giveaways and Contests plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 2.6.9

Description The issue concerns a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the plugin's swin-campaign shortcode. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages, which will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to and including 2.6.9, update to a version higher than 2.6.9 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the swin-campaign shortcode until a patch is available. Restrict contributor-level access and above to minimize the risk of exploitation.
