CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe YMC Filter WordPress plugin prior to version 3.12.8 is vulnerable due to inadequate sanitization and escaping of a layout builder setting, which allows users with Contributor roles and higher to inject malicious JavaScript. This can lead to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, potentially compromising the security of visitors' browsers. WordPress site administrators and developers using this plugin should prioritize updating to the latest version to mitigate this risk.
Original NVD Description
The YMC Filter WordPress plugin before 3.12.8 does not sanitize and escape a layout builder setting before outputting it on a public endpoint, and does not verify object ownership when the setting is saved, allowing users with the Contributor role and above to store JavaScript that executes in the browser of any visitor viewing an affected filter.
