Technical details
The plugin processes an unescaped shortcode attribute and outputs it directly into an HTML attribute context, enabling stored XSS (CWE-79). An attacker with Contributor-level or higher access can craft a post containing a malicious shortcode that injects arbitrary JavaScript. When an administrator or other privileged user previews or views the post, the injected script executes in their session.
