CVE-2021-24880
The SupportCandy WordPress plugin before 2.2.7 does not validate and escape the page attribute of its shortcode, which could allow users with a role as low as Contributor to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.60%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
