Descriptions

The WP Shortcodes Plugin — Shortcodes Ultimate plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'su_button', 'su_members', and 'su_tabs' shortcodes in all versions up to, and including, 7.0.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. 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 Plugin — Shortcodes Ultimate para WordPress es vulnerable a Cross-Site Scripting Almacenado a través de los códigos cortos 'su_button', 'su_members' y 'su_tabs' del complemento en todas las versiones hasta la 7.0.0 incluida debido a una sanitización insuficiente de las entradas y salida de escape en los atributos proporcionados por el usuario. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados con permisos de nivel de colaborador y superiores inyecten scripts web arbitrarios en páginas que se ejecutarán cada vez que un usuario acceda a una página inyectada.
