Summary
The myCred plugin for WordPress (up to and including version 3.2.4) is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'wrapper' shortcode attribute due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level access can inject arbitrary web scripts that execute when a user accesses an injected page.
Risk Assessment
The risk of malicious script execution in users' browsers could lead to session theft, defacement, or other attacks.
Recommendation
Update the plugin to a version newer than 3.2.4 if available, and restrict contributor permissions to trusted individuals.
