Summary

CVE-2023-5668 is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting the WhatsApp Share Button plugin for WordPress. This issue, present in all versions up to 1.0.1, stems from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes within the plugin's 'whatsapp' shortcode. Consequently, authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher can inject arbitrary web scripts. Upon accessing an injected page, these scripts will execute, potentially leading to unauthorized data access or theft, or even allowing the attacker to gain full control of the affected WordPress site.
