Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Memberlite Shortcodes plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.3.9

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

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.3.9, update to a version higher than 1.3.9 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the memberlite accordion shortcode for users with contributor-level access and above until a patch is available.
