Monitor the vendor's channels for updates or patches addressing this vulnerability. Until a fix is available, restrict subscriber-level user capabilities where possible to reduce risk.
Description
The Motors – Car Dealership & Classified Listings Plugin for WordPress contains a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the 'stm_f_s[make]' parameter. This affects all versions up to and including 1.4.128. Authenticated users with subscriber-level access or higher can inject malicious scripts that execute when other users view the affected pages. The vulnerability requires the Free Listing Submission feature to be enabled, which is on by default in the demo setup.
