Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Email Obfuscate Shortcode plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.0

Description: The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'email-obfuscate' 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, 2.0, consider disabling the 'email-obfuscate' shortcode until a patch is available to prevent exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
