Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WordPress File Upload plugin versions up to, and including, 4.24.5

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 shortcode(s). This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages, which will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For WordPress File Upload plugin versions up to, and including, 4.24.5, update to a version later than 4.24.5 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the plugin's shortcode(s) to minimize the risk of exploitation.
