Descriptions

The WP Shortcodes Plugin — Shortcodes Ultimate WordPress plugin before 7.0.5 does not properly escape some of its shortcodes attributes before they are echoed back to users, making it possible for users with the contributor role to conduct Stored XSS attacks.

El complemento WP Shortcodes Plugin — Shortcodes Ultimate WordPress anterior a 7.0.5 no escapa adecuadamente de algunos de sus atributos de códigos cortos antes de que se repitan a los usuarios, lo que hace posible que los usuarios con el rol de colaborador realicen ataques XSS almacenados.

The WP Shortcodes Plugin — Shortcodes Ultimate plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'note_color' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 7.0.4 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.
