Stored XSS via unsanitized shortcode script content
Published Nov 18, 2024 · Updated May 11, 2026
Stored XSS in Copy Anything to Clipboard 4.0.3 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts through a shortcode. The shortcode path accepts contributor-supplied script content without sufficient input sanitization and later renders it without output escaping. Contributor-level access is required, and the stored script executes when another user visits the affected page.
