Accordions WordPress Plugin Stored Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the Accordions plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 2.3.23. The issue arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping, allowing authenticated attackers with Custom-level access and above to inject arbitrary scripts into the Accordion body field. These scripts are executed when users access the affected pages.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for stored cross-site scripting, where injected scripts are executed in the context of the user viewing the page.

Remediation

Users can update to version 2.3.25 or a newer patched version to address this vulnerability.
