Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Newspaper theme for WordPress versions up to, and including, 12.6.5

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via attachment meta in the archive page due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This allows authenticated attackers, with author-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, 12.6.5, update to a version later than 12.6.5 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the archive page and attachment meta to minimize the risk of exploitation. Additionally, restrict author-level access and above to trusted users only.
