CVE-2022-2072: Name Directory Project Name Directory

Medium severity, CVSS 6.1. EPSS: 0.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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

Affected products
