Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions ND Shortcodes plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 7.5

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's upload feature due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows authenticated attackers, with Author-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, 7.5, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the upload feature to prevent Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the upload feature for users with Author-level access and above until a patch is available.
