Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WPBakery Visual Composer WHMCS Elements plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.0.4

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the void wbwhmcse laouts search shortcode. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages, which will execute when a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.0.4, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue in the void wbwhmcse laouts search shortcode. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the void wbwhmcse laouts search shortcode to minimize the risk of exploitation.
