Auth. (contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Vova Anokhin WordPress Shortcodes Plugin — Shortcodes Ultimate plugin <= 5.12.6 versions.
The Shortcodes Ultimate plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's shortcode(s) in versions up to, and including, 5.12.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes.
