Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The DWT - Directory & Listing WordPress Theme versions up to, and including, 3.3.4

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via shortcodes due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For The DWT - Directory & Listing WordPress Theme versions up to, and including, 3.3.4, consider updating to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue, although the specific fixed version is not provided in the available data.
