Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Shortcodes Blocks Creator Ultimate plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.1.3

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the scu shortcode due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 2.1.3, update the plugin to the latest patched version immediately to prevent malicious code injection. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the scu shortcode until a patch is available.
