Descriptions

The shortcodes-ultimate-pro WordPress plugin before 7.1.5 does not properly escape some of its shortcodes' settings, making it possible for attackers with a Contributor account to conduct Stored XSS attacks.

El complemento shortcodes-ultimate-pro de WordPress anterior a 7.1.5 no escapa adecuadamente a algunas de las configuraciones de sus códigos cortos, lo que hace posible que los atacantes con una cuenta de Contributor realicen ataques XSS almacenados.

The Shortcodes Ultimate Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to, and including, 7.1.4 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.
