WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Social Sharing (by Danny) < 1.3.8 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Shortcode

Description

The Social Sharing (by Danny) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'dvk_social_sharing' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.7 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.
