Summary

The WP BBCode plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'url' shortcode in all versions up to and including 1.8.1 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 into pages that execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Risk Assessment

An attacker with contributor privileges can inject malicious scripts that execute in visitors' browsers, potentially leading to session theft or actions on behalf of users.

Recommendation

Update the WP BBCode plugin to a version later than 1.8.1 once a fix is available, and restrict contributor privileges.
