Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: CC-IMG-Shortcode plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.1.0

Description: The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'img' 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 CC-IMG-Shortcode plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.1.0: Update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the 'img' shortcode for users with contributor-level access and above to minimize the risk of exploitation.
