Exploitation Summary
CVE-2023-2178 has a Nuclei detection template available — see the Nuclei card below for the Shodan/FOFA recon queries.
Description
The Aajoda Testimonials WordPress plugin before 2.2.2 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup).
