Summary

CVE	CVE-2023-5665
State	PUBLISHED
Assigner	Wordfence
Source Priority	CVE Program / NVD first with legacy fallback
Published	2024-02-08 04:15:07 UTC
Updated	2026-04-08 18:18:31 UTC
Description	The Payment Forms for Paystack plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's shortcodes in all versions up to, and including, 3.4.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. 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. CVE-2024-32130 is likely a duplicate of this issue.
