What the vulnerability does

01Description

The WDES Responsive Popup plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'wdes-popup-title' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes.
