Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The WP Mobile Menu – The Mobile-Friendly Responsive Menu plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.8.4.2

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via image alt text due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows authenticated attackers with author-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages, which will execute when a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 2.8.4.2, update to a version later than 2.8.4.2 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to image alt text editing to minimize the risk of exploitation. Additionally, ensure proper input sanitization and output escaping for all user-inputted data to prevent similar issues.
