Descriptions
The Bootstrap Shortcodes WordPress plugin through 3.4.0 does not validate and escape some of its shortcode attributes before outputting them back in a page/post where the shortcode is embed, which could allow users with the contributor role and above to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks
The BootStrap Shortcodes plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'size', 'type', and 'href' parameters in the 'bs_button' shortcode in versions up to, and including, 3.4.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with the 'edit posts' capability, such as contributors, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
