What the vulnerability does
The 360 Photo Spheres plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'sphere' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.3 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
360 Photo Spheres versions 1.3 and earlier contain a cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows authenticated users to inject malicious scripts. The vulnerability affects the scope beyond the vulnerable component itself. An attacker with low-level user privileges can inject code that executes in other users' browsers, potentially compromising their sessions or stealing data.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious scripts that execute in other users' browsers and affect the wider application.
Potential impact on your site
Authenticated users can inject scripts affecting other users and the broader application; data theft or session hijacking possible.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker must have a low-level user account on the site; no user interaction required.
