Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Gutenverse News plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.0.4

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting 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. The elementId parameter is specifically vulnerable to this type of attack.

Recommendations For Gutenverse News plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.0.4, update to a version higher than 1.0.4 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the elementId parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
