Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Easy Accordion – Best Accordion FAQ Plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.3.4

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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. The accordion content source attribute is specifically vulnerable to this type of attack.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 2.3.4, update to a version that includes the necessary input sanitization and output escaping fixes to prevent Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting contributor-level access and above to minimize the risk of exploitation.
