Summary

The NotificationX plugin for WordPress is affected in all versions up to and including 3.3.3. Insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of the 'name' parameter causes stored cross-site scripting (CWE-79). An unauthenticated attacker can inject scripts that run in the browser of any user who opens an affected page, once an administrator has enabled a WordPress.org Reviews campaign and placed the block on a public page.

Description from the CNA

The NotificationX – FOMO, Live Sales Notification, WooCommerce Sales Popup, GDPR, Social Proof, Announcement Banner & Floating Notification Bar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'name' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.3 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. This requires that an administrator has previously enabled a WordPress.org Reviews campaign and placed the notificationx-pro/notificationx dynamic block on a public page, both of which are documented, supported plugin workflows.
