What the vulnerability does
The Bold Timeline Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'title' parameter in the 'bold_timeline_group' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.7 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.

An authenticated user with low privileges can inject malicious scripts that execute in other users' browsers when they view affected content. The vulnerability affects the site's integrity and can expose user data or session tokens.
What an attacker can do
