Description
The Shortcodes Ultimate plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘settings’ parameter saved via the ajax_add_preset() function in versions up to, and including, 5.12.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
