Descriptions

The CM Tooltip Glossary WordPress plugin before 3.9.21 does not escape some glossary_tooltip shortcode attributes, which could allow users a role as low as Contributor to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks

El plugin CM Tooltip Glossary de WordPress versiones anteriores a 3.9.21, no escapa a algunos atributos del shortcode glossary_tooltip, lo que podría permitir a usuarios con un rol tan bajo como el de Contributor llevar a cabo ataques de tipo Cross-Site Scripting Almacenado

The CM Tooltip Glossary plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 3.9.20 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. It does not escape some glossary_tooltip shortcode attributes. This makes it possible for Contributor-level attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
