Published: 2023-11-07

Description:
The Social Sharing Plugin - Social Warfare plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'social_warfare' shortcode in versions up to, and including, 4.4.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
