Descriptions

The WP Shortcodes Plugin — Shortcodes Ultimate plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'data-url' DOM element attribute in all versions up to, and including, 7.4.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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.

El complemento WP Shortcodes — Shortcodes Ultimate para WordPress es vulnerable a cross-site scripting almacenado a través del atributo del elemento DOM 'data-url' en todas las versiones hasta la 7.4.0 incluida, debido a una depuración de entrada y un escape de salida insuficientes. Esto permite a atacantes autenticados, con acceso de colaborador o superior, inyectar scripts web arbitrarios en páginas que se ejecutarán al acceder un usuario a una página inyectada.
