 "title": "WP Customer Area <= 8.4.3 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'customer-area-protected-content' Shortcode 'layout' and 'title' Attributes",
 "description": "The WP Customer Area plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'layout' and 'title' attributes of the [customer-area-protected-content] shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 8.4.3, due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a logged-in user accesses an injected page.",
