Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Social Rocket – Social Sharing Plugin versions up to and including 1.3.4

Description The issue arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the socialrocket-floating shortcode. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages. These scripts will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to and including 1.3.4, update to a version higher than 1.3.4 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the socialrocket-floating shortcode until a patch is available.
