This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the `chart_size` attribute, which is concatenated directly into an inline `<style>` block. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page."}], "lastModified": "2026-08-12T21:00:37.147", "sourceIdentifier": "security@wordfence.com"}
