Summary

The WP Shortcodes Plugin — Shortcodes Ultimate plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'su_box' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 7.4.9 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. 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.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can inject malicious scripts that execute in users' browsers, potentially leading to session theft, account takeover, or malware distribution.

Recommendation

Update the plugin to the latest version and ensure all shortcode attributes are properly sanitized and escaped.
