Descriptions

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in Jannis Thuemmig Email Encoder plugin <= 2.1.8 versions.

Vulnerabilidad de neutralización inadecuada de la entrada durante la generación de páginas web ('cross-site Scripting') en el complemento Jannis Thuemmig Email Encoder en versiones <= 2.1.8.

The Email Encoder – Protect Email Addresses and Phone Numbers plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's shortcode(s) in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.8 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. This entry appears to be a duplicate of CVE-2023-4599.
