Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Social Auto Poster plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 5.3.14

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the mapTypes parameter in the 'wpw auto poster map wordpress post type' AJAX function due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 5.3.14, update to a version later than 5.3.14 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the 'wpw auto poster map wordpress post type' AJAX function until a patch is available. Avoid using the mapTypes parameter in the affected AJAX function until the issue is resolved.
