DescriptionCVE.org

Grav Shortcode Core Plugin allows for the development shortcode plugins that utilize the common format utilized by WordPress and BBCode. Prior to 6.2.2, Grav Shortcode Core passes shortcode syntax through Security::detectXss() because it contains no literal less-than character, then ColorShortcode.php and related attribute handlers concatenate an attacker-controlled parameter into HTML without encoding. An account with admin.pages permission can close the generated attribute and add an event handler, creating stored cross-site scripting that executes for visitors or administrators who view the page. This issue is fixed in version 6.2.2.

AnalysisAI

Stored XSS in Grav Shortcode Core Plugin (prior to 6.2.2) allows an authenticated user with admin.pages permission to inject arbitrary JavaScript into page content by supplying a crafted shortcode attribute value that breaks out of an HTML attribute context. The plugin's shortcode syntax bypasses Grav's save-time XSS filter because shortcode notation never contains a literal less-than character, and multiple attribute handlers (ColorShortcode, DivShortcode, ColumnsShortcode, and others) then concatenate the raw parameter directly into rendered HTML. …
