This vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of input during web page generation, specifically insufficient sanitization and escaping of user-supplied shortcode attributes. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level or higher privileges can inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of other users viewing the injected pages. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 2.7.5.2. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4 (medium severity), with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no user interaction required. No patch or official fix is currently documented.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges to inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of other users viewing the affected pages. This can lead to information disclosure or session hijacking limited to the privileges of the victim user. The vulnerability does not impact availability and requires authentication, limiting the attack surface.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only. Avoid using the mycred_send shortcode with untrusted input. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
