Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Media Library Assistant plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.13

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's shortcodes 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, 3.13, update to a version later than 3.13 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the plugin's shortcodes for users with contributor-level access and above until a patch is available.
