Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WP Shortcodes Plugin — Shortcodes Ultimate plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 7.0.3

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's su qrcode 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, 7.0.3, update to a version later than 7.0.3 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the su qrcode shortcode to minimize the risk of exploitation.
