Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
This vulnerability is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issue in the EDD Download Info plugin for WordPress. It occurs via the 'edd_download_info_link' shortcode in versions up to and including 1.1. The problem arises because the plugin does not properly sanitize or escape user-supplied input attributes, allowing authenticated users with contributor-level access or higher to inject malicious scripts. These scripts then execute whenever any user views the affected page.
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 session data, defacing the website, or performing actions on behalf of other users without their consent. It compromises the integrity and security of the website and its users.
