Staff Directory – Employee Directory for WordPress <= 4.5.0 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting

Published Jun 4, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026 · Assigned by Wordfence

Description

The Employee Directory – Staff Listing & Team Directory Plugin for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'emd_mb_meta' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. 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 an injected page.
