Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Smart Docs 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 'smartdocs search' 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 Smart Docs plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.1.0, update to a version later than 1.1.0 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the 'smartdocs search' shortcode to minimize the risk of exploitation.
