CVE-2022-2072
Last modified
CVE-2022-2072 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.1/10 on the CVSS scale. The Name Directory WordPress plugin before 1.25.3 does not sanitise and escape a parameter before outputting it back in the page, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting. Furthermore, as the payload is also saved into the database after the request, it leads to a Stored XSS as well. EPSS estimates a 0.55% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
