Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-06-03 00:30 – Updated: 2024-04-04 04:31

Details

The Page Builder by AZEXO plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'azh_post' shortcode in versions up to, and including, 1.27.133 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for contributor-level attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Severity

6.4 (Medium)


                  
                    CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
