What the vulnerability does
The Epic Bootstrap Buttons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘icol’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.0 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
Epic Bootstrap Buttons versions 1.0 and earlier contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that allows authenticated users to inject malicious scripts affecting other users. The vulnerability exists in how the component handles user input without proper sanitization. An attacker with low-level account access can craft malicious content that executes in other users' browsers when they view the affected page.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious scripts that execute in other users' browsers and steal their session data or perform actions on their behalf.
Potential impact on your site
Users' accounts and data are at risk if an authenticated attacker injects malicious scripts through this component.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker must have a low-level user account on the site; no user interaction required from the victim.
