CVE-2022-4478

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Font Awesome WordPress plugin versions prior to 4.3.2

Description The issue concerns the Font Awesome WordPress plugin, which does not properly validate and escape certain shortcode attributes before outputting them. This could allow users with a role as low as contributor to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks against logged-in admins.

Recommendations For Font Awesome WordPress plugin versions prior to 4.3.2, update to version 4.3.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of shortcode attributes to minimize the risk of exploitation.
