Descriptions
Auth. (contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Chris Reynolds Progress Bar plugin <= 2.2.1 versions.
The Progress Bar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'wppb' shortcode in versions up to, and including, 2.1.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the user-supplied shortcode attributes. 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.
