What the vulnerability does
The ZoomSounds plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via shortcodes in versions up to, and including, 6.91 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
ZoomSounds WordPress plugin versions 6.91 and earlier contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. An authenticated user with low privileges can inject malicious JavaScript that executes in the browsers of other site visitors, potentially compromising their sessions or stealing data. The vulnerability affects the plugin's audio player and playlist functionality.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious JavaScript that runs in other users' browsers when they view the audio player.
Potential impact on your site
Visitors to pages with the audio player may have their sessions hijacked or personal data stolen by injected scripts.
