CVE-2022-4475

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Collapse-O-Matic WordPress plugin versions prior to 1.8.3

Description The issue arises from the plugin's failure to validate and escape some of its shortcode attributes before outputting them back in the page. This could allow users with a role as low as contributor to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks, which could be used against high privilege users such as admin.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.8.3, update to version 1.8.3 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the vulnerable shortcode attributes until a patch is available.
