Stored script execution via unescaped shortcode attribute
Published Nov 19, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Stored XSS in Pankaj Patidar's Minical Hotel Booking Plugin 1.0.2 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts via a shortcode. The mhbp_minical_online_booking_engine function inserts the shortcode id attribute into data-company_id and name HTML attributes without escaping. Contributor-level access is required to save a crafted shortcode, and the injected script runs in a visitor browser when the page is viewed.
