Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Rich Table of Contents WordPress plugin versions prior to 1.3.9

Description The issue allows users with the contributor role and above to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks due to the plugin not validating and escaping some of its shortcode attributes before outputting them back in a page/post. This could be used against high privilege users such as admins.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.3.9, update to version 1.3.9 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the vulnerable shortcode attributes to minimize the risk of exploitation.
