The Youzify – BuddyPress Community, User Profile, Social Network & Membership Plugin for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's youzify_media shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes.

EPSS estimates a 0.30% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
