Descriptions

WordPress Core is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the HTML API in various versions prior to 6.5.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on URLs. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

WordPress Core es vulnerable a Cross-Site Scripting Almacenado a través de la API HTML en varias versiones hasta la 6.5.5 debido a una sanitización de entrada insuficiente y a un escape de salida en las URL. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel de colaborador y superior, inyecten scripts web arbitrarios en páginas que se ejecutarán cada vez que un usuario acceda a una página inyectada.
