Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The WordPress Tag and Category Manager – AI Autotagger plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.13.0

Description The issue arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the plugin's 'st tag cloud' shortcode, allowing authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages. These scripts will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 3.13.0, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue in the 'st tag cloud' shortcode. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the 'st tag cloud' shortcode to minimize the risk of exploitation.
