Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Simple Divi Shortcode versions prior to 1.3

Description The Simple Divi Shortcode plugin for WordPress contains a Stored Cross-Site Scripting issue. This occurs because the showmodule shortcode() function fails to properly sanitize input and escape output when handling the id parameter of the [showmodule] shortcode. The id attribute is concatenated directly into a dynamically constructed shortcode string without using esc attr() or other escaping methods, allowing an attacker to break the attribute context and inject arbitrary HTML. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher can inject malicious web scripts into pages, which then execute when a user visits the affected page.

Recommendations Update to a version later than 1.2. As a temporary workaround, restrict the use of the id parameter within the [showmodule] shortcode or limit user permissions to prevent contributors from editing pages with this shortcode.
