Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Client Logo Carousel WordPress plugin versions 3.0.0 and earlier

Description The issue is related to the plugin not validating and escaping some of its shortcode attributes before outputting them back in a page or post where the shortcode is embedded. This could allow users with the contributor role and above to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks.

Recommendations For versions 3.0.0 and earlier, update to a version that includes the necessary validation and escaping of shortcode attributes to prevent Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the plugin's shortcodes to minimize the risk of exploitation.
