Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WP Shortcodes Plugin — Shortcodes Ultimate plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 7.3.3

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping, specifically via the src parameter. This allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages, which will execute when a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 7.3.3, update to a version that includes the necessary input sanitization and output escaping fixes to prevent Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the src parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
