Description
A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Lightbox with PhotoSwipe WordPress plugin before version 5.19.0. The plugin fails to properly sanitize link titles and other caption sources before inserting them as HTML into image lightbox captions. This flaw allows unauthenticated users to inject malicious scripts via comments, which are then executed in the context of users viewing the affected captions.
