Prismatic, CVE-2021-24408

CVE, Research URL: CVE-2021-24408
Home page URL: Security reports for Prismatic
Application: Prismatic
Published on: Jul 13, 2021
Research Description: The Prismatic WordPress plugin before 2.8 does not sanitise or validate some of its shortcode parameters, allowing users with a role as low as Contributor to set Cross-Site payload in them. A post made by a contributor would still have to be approved by an admin to have the XSS trigger able in the frontend, however, higher privilege users, such as editor could exploit this without the need of approval, and even when the blog disallows the unfiltered_html capability.
Affected versions: max 2.8.
Status: vulnerable
