Published Jan 22, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Reflected XSS in davidpuc Simple shortcode buttons 1.3.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute script via a crafted request. Public records do not identify the vulnerable parameter, handler, or code operation that places untrusted input into the generated page. Exploitation requires a privileged user to open attacker-controlled content, after which the script runs in that user's browser context.
