Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Modal Window plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 6.1.5

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'iframeBox' 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, 6.1.5, update to a version later than 6.1.5 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the iframeBox shortcode until a patch is available. Restrict access to the shortcode to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the iframeBox shortcode in pages until the issue is resolved.
