CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe WP Shortcode by MyThemeShop plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting through the 'title' parameter of the [tab] shortcode in versions up to 1.4.17, due to inadequate input sanitization and output escaping. This flaw allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject malicious scripts into web pages, potentially compromising users' sessions and data when those pages are accessed. WordPress site administrators using this plugin should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of exploitation.
Original NVD Description
The WP Shortcode by MyThemeShop plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'title' parameter of the [tab] shortcode in versions up to, and including, 1.4.17. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the mts_tabs() function, which outputs the title shortcode attribute directly into the HTML output between anchor tags without applying any escaping functions. 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.
