CVE-2023-0419

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Shortcode for Font Awesome WordPress plugin versions prior to 1.4.1

Description The issue concerns the Shortcode for Font Awesome WordPress plugin, which does not properly validate and escape some of its shortcode attributes before outputting them in a page or post. This could allow users with the contributor role and above to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.4.1, update to version 1.4.1 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.
