Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions T(-) Countdown plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.4.8

Description The issue arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the tminus shortcode, allowing authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages. These scripts will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 2.4.8, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue in the tminus shortcode. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the tminus shortcode for users with contributor-level access and above until a patch is available.
