Until an official fix is available, restrict contributor-level permissions to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the 'wprm-recipe-text-share' shortcode to reduce exposure. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply official patches promptly once released.
Description
The WP Recipe Maker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'wprm-recipe-text-share' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 9.1.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
