Grav Shortcode Core Plugin: Stored XSS in shortcode-core attribute handlers

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 20.07.2026 Published: 19.08.2026 Updated: 19.08.2026

Grav Shortcode Core Plugin allows for the development shortcode plugins that utilize the common format utilized by WordPress and BBCode. Prior to 6.2.2, Grav Shortcode Core passes shortcode syntax through Security::detectXss() because it contains no literal less-than character, then ColorShortcode.php and related attribute handlers concatenate an attacker-controlled parameter into HTML without encoding. An account with admin.pages permission can close the generated attribute and add an event handler, creating stored cross-site scripting that executes for visitors or administrators who view the page. This issue is fixed in version 6.2.2.
