Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: The Image Editor by Pixo plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.3.6

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 via the download parameter. These scripts will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations: For versions up to, and including, 2.3.6, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the download parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
