WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Synved Shortcodes <= 1.6.36 - Contributor+ Stored XSS

Description

The plugin does not validate and escape some of its shortcode attributes before outputting them back in a page/post where the shortcode is embed, which could allow users with the contributor role and above to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks.
