Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WP Plugin Info Card plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 5.3.1

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the containerid 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, 5.3.1, consider disabling the containerid parameter until a patch is available to prevent exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
