DescriptionCVE.org

The IRM Newsroom plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'irmeventlist' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.17 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.

AnalysisAI

Stored cross-site scripting in IRM Newsroom plugin for WordPress allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts via the 'irmeventlist' shortcode. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.2.17 and is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified at this time.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) issue, classified under CWE-79, which occurs when user-supplied attributes are not properly sanitized or escaped before being stored and later rendered in web pages. The affected component is the 'irmeventlist' shortcode in the IRM Newsroom plugin for WordPress. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:irmau:irm_newsroom:*:*:*:*:*:wordpress:*:* indicates the plugin is specifically for WordPress. The root cause is insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript or HTML that executes in the context of a victim's browser when they access a page containing the injected content.

The patch is available via the WordPress plugin repository; the changeset at https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3312832 addresses the vulnerability.
