The Image Hotspot by DevVN plugin for WordPress has a vulnerability known as Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in its 'hotspot_content' custom field meta. This vulnerability exists in all versions up to and including 1.2.9. It occurs because the plugin does not properly sanitize input or escape output, allowing authenticated users with author-level access or higher to inject malicious web scripts. These scripts then execute whenever any user accesses the affected page.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability can allow attackers with author-level access to inject malicious scripts into web pages. When other users visit these pages, the injected scripts execute in their browsers, potentially leading to theft of sensitive information, session hijacking, or other malicious actions. This can compromise the security and integrity of the website and its users.
