Descriptions

The shortcodes-ultimate-pro WordPress plugin before 7.2.1 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 shortcodes-ultimate-pro de WordPress anterior a 7.2.1 no valida ni escapa algunos de sus atributos de shortcode antes de devolverlos a una página/publicación donde está incrustado el shortcode, lo que podría permitir a los usuarios con el rol de colaborador y superiores ataques de Cross-Site Scripting Almacenado.

The Shortcodes Ultimate Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'su_plan' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 7.2.0 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.
