Description
The Wufoo Shortcode plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via numerous shortcode attributes (such as 'height', 'username', and 'header') for the 'wufoo' shortcode in versions up to, and including, 1.51 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for contributor-level attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
