The GNTT Post Title Ticker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in version 1.0 via the title-ticker-slide, title-ticker-fade, and title-ticker-typing shortcodes. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on shortcode attributes (notably border, width, height, header background, header text color, and id) within the gntt title ticker slide(), gntt title ticker fade(), and gntt title ticker typing() functions. None of these attribute values are passed through esc attr() or any other escaping function before being concatenated into HTML output. This makes it possible for 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.
