Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WP ULike plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 4.6.9

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'wp ulike' shortcode due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the user supplied wrapper class attribute. 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, 4.6.9, update the WP ULike plugin to a version higher than 4.6.9 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the 'wp ulike' shortcode or disabling it until a patch is available. Avoid using the wrapper class attribute in the 'wp ulike' shortcode until the issue is resolved.
