Description

The Cookie Notice & Compliance for GDPR / CCPA plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'cookies_policy_link' shortcode in versions up to, and including, 2.4.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level access, and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
