Until an official fix is available, restrict contributor-level permissions carefully and consider disabling or limiting use of the affected shortcodes. Monitor for updates from the plugin vendor regarding patches or official mitigations.
Description
The WP Recipe Maker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's [wprm-recipe-instructions] and [wprm-recipe-ingredients] shortcodes in all versions up to, and including, 9.1.0 due to insufficient restrictions on the 'group_tag' attribute . 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.
