Description

The WP Shortcodes Plugin — Shortcodes Ultimate plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'max_width' attribute of the `su_box` shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 7.4.10 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes.
