What the vulnerability does

01Description

The Real Media Library: Media Library Folder & File Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via its style attributes in all versions up to, and including, 4.22.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor access or above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms

02Summary

Real Media Library versions up to 4.22.7 contain an input validation flaw that allows authenticated users with low privileges to read sensitive information or modify data across the site. The vulnerability stems from insufficient input validation (CWE-20) and affects the scope beyond the vulnerable component. Site administrators should update to a version newer than 4.22.7 to remediate the issue.
