Summary

The AMP for WP – Accelerated Mobile Pages plugin for WordPress is affected, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to inject malicious scripts that run in the browsers of visitors who open the affected pages. This could let attackers steal session data or perform actions as the victim, including administrators.

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

Read the original description

The AMP for WP – Accelerated Mobile Pages plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'headline-*' Shortcode Attribute in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.17 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. A Subscriber-level user can store a malicious shortcode in their biographical info field; because WordPress core's wp_filter_kses() only strips HTML tags and not shortcode syntax, and because AMP content sanitizers run before do_shortcode() processes the archive description, the synthesized markup is never post-sanitized.
