AI-suggested

Until an official fix is available, consider restricting Contributor-level users from submitting content through the plugin or disabling the plugin entirely to prevent exploitation.

Description

The Content Mask WordPress plugin before 1.8.5.6 does not properly sanitise and escape content submitted with a post before outputting it in the pages it generates, allowing users with a role as low as Contributor to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks against any user viewing or previewing the affected page. The Content Mask WordPress plugin before 1.8.5.6's option to restrict its use by role does not prevent this.

Impact

Successful exploitation enables stored XSS attacks, allowing an attacker with Contributor-level access to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of other users' browsers. This can lead to session hijacking, defacement, or other malicious actions targeting users who view the compromised content.
