Stored XSS via unescaped member link URLs
Published Mar 18, 2024 · Updated Aug 28, 2024
Stored XSS in WP Darko Team Members before 5.3.2 allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts through crafted member link URLs. The shortcode renderer places the stored Link URL field into member output without validating the attribute or escaping it for HTML. An attacker needs Author-level access to add a team member, and the script runs when a page containing that team's shortcode is viewed.
