Short explanation
Versions of the Firelight Lightbox WordPress plugin prior to 2.3.23 insert the href attribute of Lightbox links into the page without escaping, allowing a user with the Contributor role to store XSS that can compromise browsers of users who click the crafted link.
Stored XSS can lead to session hijacking, credential theft, and execution of malicious code, posing serious security risks.
What should be done?
- Disable the plugin until an official fix is released
- Restrict Contributor capabilities or review submitted content
- Properly escape user‑controlled href values
- Monitor vendor advisories for a patch
- Deploy web‑application firewalls or XSS protection plugins

Show the technical text from the sources
The Firelight Lightbox WordPress plugin before 2.3.23 does not escape the URL of links it opens in its Classic lightbox before inserting it into the page as HTML, which could allow users with a role as low as Contributor to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks against users who click a crafted link.
