The Starbox – the Author Box for Humans plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Twitter URL field in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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.

CVSS

Score:6.5

Severity:Medium

Version:< 3.5.3

There is a patch available in v3.5.3 and we strongly recommend you update to this version as soon as possible.
