Overview

The Real3D Flipbook Lite plugin for WordPress contains a stored cross‑site scripting flaw in the lightboxtext shortcode attribute. Attackers can inject malicious scripts that will run in the browsers of site visitors. The vulnerability affects all sites using the plugin up to version 5.1.1.

Description

The Real3D Flipbook Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'lightboxtext' shortcode attribute (and other unsanitized attributes handled by on_shortcode()) in versions up to, and including, 5.1.1.

Impact

Confidentiality: injected scripts can steal user data such as cookies or form inputs. Integrity: malicious code can alter page content or redirect users. Availability: minimal impact. Defenders: site administrators and users of the plugin are impacted.

Remediation

Update the plugin to the latest version (5.1.2 or later). If an update is not possible, disable the lightboxtext shortcode or implement input sanitization for shortcode attributes. Monitor the site for unexpected script execution and review logs for suspicious activity.

Risk context
