Technical details

The AcyMailing plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the 'alignment' attribute. This vulnerability exists in all versions up to and including 10.10.2. An authenticated attacker with contributor-level permissions or higher can exploit this by injecting malicious JavaScript into a page. Because the input is stored on the server and later rendered without proper neutralization, the script executes in the context of any user (including administrators) who visits the compromised page. This can lead to session hijacking or unauthorized administrative actions.
