The Affiliate Program Suite — SliceWP Affiliates plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via shortcode attributes in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.7. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the 'slicewp_affiliate_url' shortcode.

Executive Summary

The Affiliate Program Suite — SliceWP Affiliates plugin for WordPress has a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in all versions up to and including 1.2.7. This vulnerability arises because the plugin does not properly sanitize or escape user-supplied input in the 'slicewp_affiliate_url' shortcode attributes. As a result, authenticated users with contributor-level access or higher can inject malicious scripts into pages. These scripts will execute whenever any user accesses the affected page.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability allows attackers with contributor-level access or above to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These scripts can execute in the context of other users visiting the infected pages, potentially leading to theft of user credentials, session hijacking, defacement, or other malicious actions. Because the attack is stored, the malicious script persists and affects all users who view the compromised content.
