Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Schema Scalpel versions prior to 1.6.2

Description The Schema Scalpel plugin for WordPress is susceptible to Stored Cross-Site Scripting. This is due to inadequate input sanitization and output escaping when handling user-supplied data in the post title, specifically when generating JSON-LD schema markup. Authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access or higher can inject malicious web scripts into pages. These scripts will execute when a user accesses the compromised page.
