Descriptions
The WP MultiTasking WordPress plugin through 0.1.12 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
The WP MultiTasking – WP Utilities plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to, and including, 0.1.12 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
