The Fancy Testimonials plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'author' shortcode attribute in the 'testimonial' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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 the Fancy Testimonials WordPress plugin (all versions ≤ 1.0, by dijitul) permits any authenticated Contributor-level user to persist arbitrary JavaScript via the 'author' attribute of the [testimonial] shortcode, which executes in every subsequent visitor's browser context. The CVSS scope change (S:C) reflects that injected scripts operate within the victim's browser session — enabling session hijacking, credential theft, or malicious redirects targeting site visitors and administrators alike. No public exploit code has been identified and no CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis, but the attack technique is trivially reproducible given knowledge of the shortcode parameter.
