Upgrade the Firelight Lightbox WordPress plugin to version 2.3.24 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigation steps are indicated.

Description

The Firelight Lightbox WordPress plugin versions before 2.3.24 improperly escape image attribute values, allowing users with contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute when other users view or preview the affected content, leading to a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability.
