Descriptions
The Location Weather WordPress plugin before 1.3.4 does not validate and escape some of its block options before outputting them back in a page/post where the block is embed, which could allow users with the contributor role and above to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks.
The Location Weather plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via shortcodes (such as 'sp_location_weather_pro_shortcode') in versions up to, and including, 1.3.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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.
