What the vulnerability does
The Simple Folio plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'portfolio_name' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-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
Simple Folio versions 1.1.0 and earlier contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that allows authenticated users to inject malicious scripts affecting other users. The vulnerability has a changed scope, meaning the impact extends beyond the vulnerable component itself. Low-privileged users can exploit this without additional user interaction.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious scripts that execute in other users' browsers and affect the site's functionality.
Potential impact on your site
Authenticated users can inject scripts that compromise other users' sessions or steal data; scope extends beyond the vulnerable component.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker must have a low-privilege account on the site; no user interaction required from victims.
