CVE-2023-0431 – File Away <= 3.9.9.0.1 - Contributor+ Stored XSS via Shortcode

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2023-0431

The File Away WordPress plugin through 3.9.9.0.1 does not validate and escape one of its shortcode attributes, which could allow users with a role as low as contributor to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attack. The File Away plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's shortcode(s) in versions up to, and including, 3.9.9.0.1 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. • https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/fdcbd9a3-552d-439e-b283-1d3d934889af • CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') •
