What the vulnerability does
The Image Hotspot by DevVN plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'hotspot_content' custom field meta in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.9 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author 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, potentially stealing session data or performing actions on their behalf. The vulnerability affects the entire application scope due to its network-accessible nature.
What an attacker can do
Inject and execute malicious JavaScript in other users' browsers to steal data or perform unauthorized actions.
Potential impact on your site
