What the vulnerability does
The WP Recipe Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'Skill Level' input field in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.0 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
WP Recipe Manager versions up to 1.0.0 contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. An authenticated user with low privileges can inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of other site visitors, potentially compromising their accounts or stealing sensitive data. The vulnerability affects the site's scope, meaning impacts may extend beyond the plugin itself.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious scripts that run in other users' browsers when they view affected pages.
Potential impact on your site
Authenticated users can inject code affecting all site visitors; visitor accounts and data at risk.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker must have a low-privilege authenticated account on the site; no user interaction required.
