What is CVE-2021-47910?

AccessPress Social Icons version 1.8.2 is vulnerable to a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. The vulnerability allows authenticated users to inject malicious JavaScript payloads through the 'icon title' field. Once the payload is stored, it can be executed when other users access the plugin's interface, potentially compromising user accounts or retrieving sensitive information. This type of attack highlights the importance of proper input validation and sanitization in web applications to prevent unauthorized script execution.
