Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions CATS Job Listings plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 2.0.9

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'catsone' 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 CATS Job Listings plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 2.0.9, update to a version higher than 2.0.9 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the 'catsone' shortcode to minimize the risk of exploitation.
