CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe WP Directory Kit plugin for WordPress versions prior to 1.5.8 is vulnerable due to inadequate sanitization and escaping of category and location fields, which can lead to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. This vulnerability allows users with specific listing-management roles to inject malicious scripts that execute for any visitor to the affected page. WordPress site administrators using this plugin should prioritize updating to version 1.5.8 or later to mitigate the risk of exploitation.
Original NVD Description
The WP Directory Kit WordPress plugin before 1.5.8 does not sanitize and escape some of its category and location fields before outputting them in page attributes, allowing users with a WP Directory Kit WordPress plugin before 1.5.8-specific listing-management role (and without the unfiltered_html capability) to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks that execute for any visitor of the affected page.
