CVE:CVE-2023-5127 vulnerable 2026-06-08 06:19:42.521317 WP Font Awesome <= 1.7.9 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Shortcode
MEDIUM (6.4)
The WP Font Awesome plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via shortcodes in versions up to, and including, 1.7.9 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on 'icon' user supplied attribute. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

The WP Font Awesome WordPress plugin before 1.7.9 does not validate and escape some of its shortcode attributes before outputting them back in a page/post where the shortcode is embedded, which could allow users with the contributor role and above to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks.
