Until an official fix is released, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the WP Lightbox 2 plugin if possible. Monitor for updates from the vendor or plugin repository to apply any forthcoming patches promptly.

Description

The WP Lightbox 2 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘title’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.6.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
