Details from the advisory
The Schedule Post Changes With PublishPress Future: Unpublish, Delete, Change Status, Trash, Change Categories WordPress plugin before 4.10.6 does not enforce a safe HTML-element allowlist on a shortcode attribute and does not neutralise attacker-controlled text placed inside the resulting element, allowing users with the Contributor role and above to store JavaScript that executes in the session of any higher-privileged user who views the content.

Stored cross-site scripting (XSS) in Schedule Post Changes With PublishPress Future (4.10.0 and older)

- Access needed (per CVSS)
- Needs an admin-level account
- Range from
- CVE record (the advisory publisher) · score by Wordfence
Details from the advisory
The Schedule Post Changes With PublishPress Future plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'wrapper' attribute of the [futureaction] shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 4.10.0. This is due to insufficient input sanitization on the wrapper attribute. The plugin uses esc_html() to escape the value, but esc_html() only encodes HTML entities and does not prevent attribute injection when the value is used as an HTML tag name in a sprintf() call. An attacker can inject event handler attributes via spaces in the wrapper value. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Since it is also possible for administrators to make this functionality available to lower-privileged users, this introduces the possibility of abuse by contributors.
