CVE-2023-1602 Information

Description

The Short URL plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘comment’ parameter due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in versions up to and including 1.6.4. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with administrator-level permissions and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
