Contributor-level stored XSS via unescaped shortcode content
Published Sep 22, 2025 · Updated Sep 22, 2025
Stored XSS in JS Morisset JSM file_get_contents() Shortcode 2.7.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to store scripts via shortcode content. The shortcode handler accepts contributor-supplied page content without sufficient input sanitization and renders it without output escaping. Contributor-level access is sufficient, and injected scripts execute in the browsers of users who view an affected page.
