Summary

The UsersWP plugin for WordPress (versions up to and including 1.2.42) is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'uwp_profile' and 'uwp_profile_header' shortcodes due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. An authenticated attacker with Contributor-level access or above can inject arbitrary web scripts that execute when a user accesses an injected page.

Risk Assessment

An attacker with a low-privileged account can execute malicious JavaScript in the browser of an administrator or other users, potentially leading to session hijacking or actions performed on behalf of the victim.

Recommendation

Update the UsersWP plugin to a version later than 1.2.42 or apply available security patches. Consider restricting content publishing capabilities for low-privileged users until the update is applied.
