Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Embed Swagger UI plugin for WordPress version 1.0.0 and earlier

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'wpsgui' shortcode due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. 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 Embed Swagger UI plugin for WordPress version 1.0.0 and earlier, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the 'wpsgui' shortcode to minimize the risk of exploitation. Additionally, restrict contributor-level access and above to reduce the potential for authenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts.
