Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Years Since – Timeless Texts plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.4.1

Description The issue arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the plugin's 'years-since' 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 The Years Since – Timeless Texts plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.4.1, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the 'years-since' shortcode for users with contributor-level access and above until a patch is available.
