What is CVE-2023-5507?

The ImageMapper plugin for WordPress allows authenticated users with contributor permissions and higher to exploit a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability. This occurs via the 'imagemap' shortcode, as insufficient input validation and output escaping allows attackers to inject arbitrary scripts into webpages. When users access these compromised pages, the injected scripts are executed, potentially leading to unauthorized actions and data exposure.

Affected Version(s)

ImageMapper * <= 1.2.6
