CVE-2021-24525

The Shortcodes Ultimate plugin versions prior to 5.10.2 contain a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability where contributors can inject malicious code through shortcode attributes. The plugin's attribute handling is inconsistent, with many attributes failing to properly escape user input, and certain attributes like the onclick parameter in the su_button shortcode are inherently insecure by design.
