Description
The Live Photos on WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'video_src', 'img_src', and 'class' parameters in the livephotos_photo shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 0.1. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute when a user accesses an injected page.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issue in the Live Photos on WordPress plugin. It occurs because the plugin does not properly sanitize or escape user-supplied input in the 'video_src', 'img_src', and 'class' parameters of the livephotos_photo shortcode. Authenticated users with contributor-level access or higher can inject malicious scripts into pages, which then execute when other users view those pages.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability allows attackers with contributor-level access to inject arbitrary scripts into web pages. This can lead to unauthorized actions such as stealing user session data, defacing the website, or performing actions on behalf of other users without their consent, potentially compromising the security and integrity of the website and its users.
