Stored script execution via unescaped shortcode attributes
Published Mar 27, 2024 · Updated May 11, 2026
Stored XSS in Andy Moyle Church Admin 4.0.26 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts via shortcode attributes. The plugin insufficiently sanitizes user-supplied attributes and fails to escape them when rendering the church_admin_map and recent shortcodes. Contributor-level access permits persistent script injection that executes when another user visits the affected page.
