What the vulnerability does
The Recras WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'recrasname' shortcode attribute in all versions up to, and including, 6.4.1. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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
Recras versions up to 6.4.1 contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that allows authenticated users to inject malicious scripts. When other users view affected content, the injected code executes in their browsers. The vulnerability affects the application's scope, potentially impacting multiple users and components. Update to version 6.5.7 or later to remediate.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious scripts that execute when other users view the affected content.
Potential impact on your site
Authenticated users can inject code affecting other users' sessions, potentially leading to credential theft or unauthorized actions.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker must have a valid user account with low-level privileges and network access to the application.
