What the vulnerability does

01Description

The Store Locator Widget plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'storelocatorwidget' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 2025r1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. 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.
