What the vulnerability does
The Ganohrs Toggle Shortcode plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'toggle' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 0.2.4 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.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
Ganohrs Toggle Shortcode versions 0.2.4 and earlier contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. An attacker with low-level site access can inject malicious scripts that execute in other users' browsers, potentially stealing session tokens or performing actions on their behalf. The vulnerability affects the entire site scope due to how the shortcode processes user input.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious JavaScript that runs in other users' browsers and affects the entire site.
Potential impact on your site
Compromised user accounts, stolen admin sessions, or malware distribution to site visitors.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker needs low-level site access (e.g., contributor or subscriber role) and no user interaction required.
