The SKT Skill Bar plugin for WordPress is susceptible to Stored Cross-Site Scripting due to inadequate input sanitization and output escaping on the `chart_size` attribute of the `skillwrapper` shortcode. This vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access or higher to inject malicious scripts, which can execute in the context of users visiting affected pages. WordPress site administrators using this plugin should prioritize patching to mitigate potential exploitation risks.

Original NVD Description

The SKT Skill Bar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the `chart_size` attribute of the `skillwrapper` shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 2.6. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the `chart_size` attribute, which is concatenated directly into an inline `<style>` block. 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.
