Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Files Download Delay plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.0.9

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the plugin's fddwrap shortcode. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-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, 1.0.9, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue in the fddwrap shortcode. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the fddwrap shortcode for users with contributor-level access and above until a patch is available.
