Vulnerability CVE-2023-5432
Published: 2023-12-19

Description:
The Jquery news ticker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'jquery-news-ticker' shortcode in versions up to, and including, 3.1 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.
