AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
This vulnerability involves multiple WordPress plugins and themes that use the lightGallery library (version 2.8.3 or earlier). Due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes, authenticated users with Contributor-level access or higher can inject malicious scripts into pages. These scripts execute whenever any user accesses the injected page, leading to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
The vulnerability allows attackers with Contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. This can lead to unauthorized actions such as stealing user credentials, session hijacking, defacement, or spreading malware to users who visit the affected pages. It compromises the integrity and security of the website and its users.
