Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

Stored Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in PickPlugins Team Showcase plugin allows authenticated attackers to inject malicious JavaScript code through plugin inputs. The malicious payload gets stored in the database and executes when other users view team showcase pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or privilege escalation.

MitigationUpdate Team Showcase plugin to version 1.22.29 or later which implements proper input validation and output encoding. If immediate update is not possible, disable the plugin until patch can be applied.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify Team Showcase plugin version
    Navigate to WordPress admin > Plugins > PickPlugins Team Showcase and locate the version number displayed. Alternatively, check the main plugin file (usually in /wp-content/plugins/team-showcase/team-showcase.php) for the 'Version' header comment.
    Affected if The installed version is 1.22.28 or any earlier version.
  2. Identify existing Team Showcase content
    Navigate to WordPress admin and locate the Team Showcase post type (typically under a menu item like 'Team Showcase' or 'Team Members'). List all published team showcase entries.
    Affected if Any Team Showcase content exists (the vulnerability only affects environments with stored team showcase data).
  3. Inspect stored team member data for unsanitized input
    Edit each Team Showcase entry and examine fields such as member name, bio, role, social links, and custom fields. Check if HTML, script tags, or JavaScript event handlers (e.g., onload, onerror) are present in the raw data without being escaped.
    Affected if Any field contains raw HTML tags, script elements, or JavaScript event handlers that are not properly escaped (visible as literal text rather than rendered).
  4. Verify low-privilege user access to Team Showcase editing
    Navigate to WordPress admin > Users > Roles, or check user capabilities. Determine if users with Contributor-level or lower roles have permission to create or edit Team Showcase posts.
    Affected if Users with Contributor or Subscriber roles have the capability to add or edit Team Showcase content.
  5. Review page output for XSS execution
    View a published Team Showcase page as a non-authenticated user or different user role. Use browser developer tools (Inspector) to examine the rendered HTML for any injected JavaScript or unexpected attributes.
    Affected if The rendered page executes JavaScript, displays unexpected alerts, or contains unsanitized HTML in the DOM source.

You are affected if the plugin version is 1.22.28 or lower AND any Team Showcase content exists with unsanitized input that could execute JavaScript when viewed.
