Description
The Secure Copy Content Protection and Content Locking plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'ays_block' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.1 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 whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Executive Summary

The Secure Copy Content Protection and Content Locking plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) via its 'ays_block' shortcode in all versions up to and including 5.0.1. This vulnerability arises because the plugin does not properly sanitize or escape user-supplied attributes. As a result, authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher can inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These scripts execute whenever any user accesses the infected page.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability allows attackers with contributor-level access or above to inject malicious scripts into WordPress pages. The impact includes the potential for attackers to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of users visiting the affected pages, which can lead to theft of user credentials, session hijacking, defacement, or other malicious actions. The CVSS score of 6.4 (medium severity) reflects that the attack can be performed remotely with low complexity and no user interaction, but requires some privileges.
