Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Shortcodes Ultimate plugin versions prior to 5.12.0

Description The issue is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability that leads to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). This means an attacker can trick a user into performing unintended actions on a web application, which can result in the storage of malicious scripts that are executed when other users access the affected page.
