CVE-2022-4838

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Clean Login WordPress plugin versions prior to 1.13.7

Description The issue concerns a lack of validation and escaping of certain shortcode attributes, which can lead to Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. Users with a role as low as contributor can exploit this, potentially targeting high-privilege users such as admins.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.13.7, update to version 1.13.7 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the vulnerable shortcode attributes to minimize the risk of exploitation.
