Executive brief
PickPlugins Team Showcase is a WordPress plugin used to display team members and staff profiles on a website. A security vulnerability in this plugin allows an attacker with basic contributor access to inject malicious scripts into the site. If a site administrator or visitor views the affected page, these scripts could redirect users to malicious websites, steal session information, or display unauthorized advertisements.
Technical details
A Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the PickPlugins Team Showcase plugin for WordPress due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. The flaw allows an authenticated attacker with 'Contributor' level privileges or higher to inject malicious JavaScript into the plugin's settings or team member fields. Because the input is not properly sanitized before being stored in the database and subsequently rendered on the front-end, the script executes in the context of any user who views the affected page. This can lead to session hijacking or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of administrative users. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.22.28, and no official patch has been confirmed at the time of reporting.
