Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions IRM Newsroom plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.2.17

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'irmflat' 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, 1.2.17, update to a version that includes the necessary input sanitization and output escaping for the 'irmflat' shortcode to prevent Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the 'irmflat' shortcode for users with contributor-level access and above until a patch is available.
