Description

The Hero Banner Ultimate plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting possibly via unspecified shortcodes in versions up to, and including, 1.3.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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.
