WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Weather Atlas Widget < 2.0.0 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Shortcode

Description

The Weather Atlas Widget plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'shortcode-weather-atlas' shortcode in versions up to, and including, 1.2.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
