Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Simple Charts plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.0

Description The issue arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the simple chart shortcode. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages. These scripts will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.0, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue in the simple chart shortcode. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the simple chart shortcode to minimize the risk of exploitation.
