Last modified
CVE-2023-5109 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.4/10 on the CVSS scale. The WP Mailto Links – Protect Email Addresses plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'wpml_mailto' shortcode in versions up to, and including, 3.1.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes.

EPSS estimates a 0.42% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
