CVE-2023-0540

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions GS Filterable Portfolio WordPress plugin versions prior to 1.6.1

Description The issue concerns the GS Filterable Portfolio WordPress plugin, which does not properly validate and escape certain shortcode attributes before outputting them in a page or post. This could allow users with the contributor role or higher to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks.

Recommendations For GS Filterable Portfolio WordPress plugin versions prior to 1.6.1, update to version 1.6.1 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.
