Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Payment Forms for Paystack plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 4.0.2

Description: The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the plugin's shortcodes, such as datepicker, textarea, and text. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages, which will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations: For versions up to, and including, 4.0.2, update to a version higher than 4.0.2 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the shortcodes datepicker, textarea, and text to minimize the risk of exploitation.
