CVE-2022-4954

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Waiting: One-click countdowns plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 0.6.2

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Countdown name due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows authenticated attackers with administrator-level permissions and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 0.6.2, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue to prevent Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Countdown name feature until a patch is available.
