Severity
6.4 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
Summary
The Advanced Custom Fields: Font Awesome Field plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible forauthenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in a victim's browser.
