CVSS 6.8 (MEDIUM)
Affected Versions before 1.8.5.6
Type CWE-79 (Cross-Site Scripting (XSS))
Vendor WordPress
Public PoC No

The Content Mask WordPress plugin before 1.8.5.6 does not properly sanitise and escape content submitted with a post before outputting it in the pages it generates, allowing users with a role as low as Contributor to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks against any user viewing or previewing the affected page. The Content Mask WordPress plugin before 1.8.5.6's option to restrict its use by role does not prevent this.
