Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Taskbuilder – WordPress Project & Task Management plugin versions up to, and including, 3.0.6

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's wppm tasks 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, 3.0.6, update to a version later than 3.0.6 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the wppm tasks shortcode until a patch is available.
