CVE-2022-2072

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Name Directory WordPress plugin versions prior to 1.25.3

Description The issue is related to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting and a Stored XSS. This occurs because a parameter is not properly sanitised and escaped before being outputted back in the page. Additionally, the payload is saved into the database after the request, leading to a Stored XSS.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.25.3, update to version 1.25.3 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the vulnerable parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
