Descriptions

The WP Shortcodes Plugin — Shortcodes Ultimate plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's su_meta shortcode combined with post meta data in all versions up to, and including, 5.13.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied meta values. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

El complemento WP Shortcodes: el complemento Shortcodes Ultimate para WordPress es vulnerable a Cross-Site Scripting Almacenado a través del código corto su_meta del complemento combinado con metadatos de publicación en todas las versiones hasta la 5.13.3 incluida debido a una sanitización insuficiente de entradas y a un escape de salida en los metavalores proporcionados por el usuario. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados con permisos de nivel de colaboradores y superiores inyecten scripts web arbitrarios en páginas que se ejecutarán cada vez que un usuario acceda a una página inyectada.
