What the vulnerability does
The Wilmer Core plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via shortcodes in versions up to, and including, 2.4.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
Wilmer Core versions up to 2.4.5 contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that allows authenticated users to inject malicious scripts. The vulnerability has a changed scope, meaning the impact can extend beyond the vulnerable component to affect other users or site functionality. Site administrators should update to a version newer than 2.4.5 to remediate this issue.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious scripts that execute in other users' browsers and affect site functionality.
Potential impact on your site
Authenticated users can inject scripts affecting other visitors and site operations; user accounts and data may be compromised.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker must have a low-privilege user account on the site.
