Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Zotpress plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 7.3.15

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the nickname parameter due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows authenticated attackers with Author-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, 7.3.15, update to a version later than 7.3.15 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the nickname parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
