Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Widget BUY.BOX plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.1.5

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'buybox-widget' 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, 3.1.5, update to a version higher than 3.1.5 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the 'buybox-widget' shortcode to minimize the risk of exploitation. Additionally, restrict contributor-level access and above to reduce the potential attack surface.
