CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe Simple Yearly Archive plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting due to inadequate input sanitization and output escaping of the `posttype` attribute in the shortcode. This flaw allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access or higher to inject malicious scripts into pages, potentially compromising user sessions and data integrity. WordPress site administrators using this plugin should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of exploitation.
Original NVD Description
The Simple Yearly Archive plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the `posttype` attribute of the `SimpleYearlyArchive` shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
