Technical details
The Powerkit plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) due to a failure to properly sanitize and escape the 'nav' attribute within its shortcode implementation. This vulnerability is located in the basic-elements module, specifically within the tabs template and public class files. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level permissions or higher can exploit this by injecting arbitrary JavaScript into a page via the shortcode. The script executes in the context of any user who subsequently views the affected page. The issue is addressed in the changeset 3629599.
