CVE-2022-4488

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Widgets on Pages WordPress plugin versions prior to 1.8.0

Description The issue concerns the failure to validate and escape shortcode attributes, which could allow users with a role as low as contributor to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. These attacks could be used against high privilege users such as admins.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.8.0, update to version 1.8.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the shortcode attributes to minimize the risk of exploitation.
