Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Plethora Plugins Tabs + Accordions plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.1.8

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the anchor parameter due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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, 1.1.8, update to a version higher than 1.1.8 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the anchor parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
