Summary

The s2Member plugin for WordPress, which is used to run membership sites and content paywalls, is affected by a stored cross-site scripting flaw in its date formatting shortcode attribute. An attacker with contributor-level access or higher could insert malicious scripts into pages that would run in the browsers of any user who visits those pages, potentially compromising their session or data.

Summarized by anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5. Verify details against the original sources.

Read the original description

The s2Member – Excellent for All Kinds of Memberships, Content Restriction Paywalls & Member Access Subscriptions plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'date_format' parameter in all versions up to, and including, <= 261011 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. The payload bypasses wp_kses_post() on save because it contains no literal angle brackets — only backslash-escaped sequences that PHP's date() materializes into HTML tag characters at render time after WordPress's shortcode_parse_atts() applies stripcslashes() to the attribute value.
