What is CVE-2023-5819?

CVE-2023-5819 is a medium-severity cross-site scripting vulnerability in garykeorkunian Amazonify, published on 7 Nov 2023. An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.

Official description

The Amazonify plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in all versions up to, and including, 0.8.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled. However, please note that this can also be combined with CVE-2023-5818 for CSRF to XSS.
