Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Easy Social Feed – Social Photos Gallery – Post Feed – Like Box plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 6.5.4

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the plugin's 'efb likebox' shortcode. 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, and including, 6.5.4, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue in the 'efb likebox' shortcode. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the 'efb likebox' shortcode for users with contributor-level and above permissions to minimize the risk of exploitation.
