Stored XSS via unescaped Button shortcode link
Published Jun 28, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Stored cross-site scripting in NattyWP Silesia 1.0.6 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject browser scripts. The Button shortcode accepts its link attribute without sufficient input sanitization and emits the value without adequate output escaping when the page is rendered. Contributor-level access is sufficient to store scripts that execute whenever any user accesses an injected page.
