MediumMetricsAV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Simple Link Directory versions prior to 8.9.3
Description
The Simple Link Directory plugin for WordPress contains a Stored Cross-Site Scripting issue. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher can inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. This occurs because the
qcopd-directory shortcode does not sufficiently sanitize input or escape output for user-supplied attributes, specifically the title font size variable. These scripts execute whenever a user visits the affected page.Recommendations
Update the plugin to a version later than 8.9.2.
As a temporary workaround, restrict the use of the
title font size attribute within the qcopd-directory shortcode for users with contributor-level access. Found an issue in the description? Have something to add? Feel free to write us 👾
