Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Permalinker plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.8.1

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'permalink' 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, 1.8.1, update to a version higher than 1.8.1 to secure your site. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the 'permalink' shortcode until a patch is applied.
