Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Hide It plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.0.1

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'hideit' 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 Hide It plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.0.1, consider disabling the hideit shortcode until a patch is available to prevent exploitation. Restrict access to pages that use the hideit shortcode to minimize the risk of arbitrary web script injection. Avoid using user-supplied attributes in the hideit shortcode until the issue is resolved.
