📄 Description (English)

The Sticky plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the `cvmh-sticky` shortcode `readmoretext` attribute in versions up to and including 2.5.6. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the `cvmh_sticky_front_render()` function — the `readmoretext` attribute value is passed through `apply_filters()` and directly concatenated into the HTML output without any escaping function such as `esc_html()`. 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 a page containing the injected shortcode.

🤖 AI Executive Summary

The Sticky plugin for WordPress versions up to 2.5.6 contains a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in the cvmh-sticky shortcode's readmoretext attribute due to insufficient input sanitization. Authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access can inject malicious scripts that execute when users view affected pages.

📄 Description (Arabic)

تحتوي إضافة Sticky للووردبريس على ثغرة XSS مخزنة في سمة readmoretext للاختصار cvmh-sticky حيث يتم تمرير قيمة السمة مباشرة إلى الإخراج دون تنظيف أو هروب مناسب. يمكن للمهاجمين المصرح لهم على مستوى المساهم أو أعلى حقن نصوص برمجية ضارة تُنفذ عند وصول المستخدمين إلى الصفحات المحتوية على الاختصار المعرض للخطر.

🤖 ملخص تنفيذي (AI)

The Sticky WordPress plugin up to version 2.5.6 has a Stored XSS vulnerability in the cvmh-sticky shortcode readmoretext attribute caused by inadequate input sanitization. Attackers with Contributor privileges or higher can inject malicious scripts that execute when users access pages containing the vulnerable shortcode.

🔧 Remediation Steps (English)
Update the Sticky plugin to version 2.5.7 or later immediately. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only, disable the cvmh-sticky shortcode if not in use, and implement Web Application Firewall rules to detect and block XSS payloads in shortcode attributes.
🔧 خطوات المعالجة (العربية)
قم بتحديث إضافة Sticky إلى الإصدار 2.5.7 أو أحدث فوراً. إذا لم يكن التحديث الفوري ممكناً، قيد وصول مستوى المساهم للمستخدمين الموثوقين فقط، وعطل اختصار cvmh-sticky إذا لم يكن قيد الاستخدام، وطبق قواعد جدار حماية تطبيقات الويب للكشف عن حمولات XSS.
