Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions MDTF – Meta Data and Taxonomies Filter plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.3.3.6

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'mdf results by ajax' 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, 1.3.3.6, update to a version higher than 1.3.3.6 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the mdf results by ajax shortcode until a patch is available. Restrict access to the mdf results by ajax shortcode to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using user-supplied attributes in the affected shortcode until the issue is resolved.
