Analysis

Technical impact

Improper neutralization of input during page generation in Ben Huson’s List Pages at Depth WordPress plugin allows attackers to store malicious markup in the site’s database. When a user visits a page that renders the affected plugin content, the stored code is delivered and executed in the user’s browser, constituting a stored XSS vulnerability with a CVSS base score of 6.5. This flaw can lead to the compromise of user integrity and the potential defacement of site content.
