Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Mega Addons For WPBakery Page Builder WordPress plugin versions prior to 4.3.0

Description The issue concerns the lack of validation and escaping of certain shortcode attributes, which could allow users with the contributor role and above to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. This occurs when these attributes are outputted back in a page or post where the shortcode is embedded.

Recommendations For versions prior to 4.3.0, update to version 4.3.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of shortcodes to trusted users only until the update is applied.
