Descriptions

The Social Sharing Plugin WordPress plugin before 3.3.61 does not validate and escape some of its shortcode attributes before outputting them back in a page/post where the shortcode is embed, which could allow users with the contributor role and above to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks

El complemento Social Sharing Plugin de WordPress anterior a 3.3.61 no valida ni escapa algunos de sus atributos de código corto antes de devolverlos a una página/publicación donde está incrustado el código corto, lo que podría permitir a los usuarios con el rol de colaborador y superior realizar ataques de Cross-Site Scripting Almacenado.

The Social Sharing Plugin – Sassy Social Share plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's shortcode(s) in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.60 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied 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.
