Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Shortcode Redirect plugin versions 1.0.01 and earlier

Description The issue concerns multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the scr do redirect function. These vulnerabilities allow remote authenticated users with certain permissions to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the url or sec attributes in a redirect tag.

Recommendations For Shortcode Redirect plugin versions 1.0.01 and earlier, update to a version later than 1.0.01 to resolve the issue.
