Summary

The WP-Iconics plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via multiple parameters of the 'wp_iconics' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 0.0.4 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 user accesses an injected page.

Risk Assessment

An attacker with a Contributor account can persistently inject malicious JavaScript into site pages, potentially leading to session theft, administrator account takeover, or content modification.

Recommendation

Update the WP-Iconics plugin to a version newer than 0.0.4 or remove it if unused. Consider limiting the number of accounts with Contributor privileges.
