Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Campus Directory – Faculty, Staff & Student Directory Plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.9.0

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's emd mb meta 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 versions up to, and including, 1.9.0, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue in the emd mb meta shortcode. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the emd mb meta shortcode to minimize the risk of exploitation.
