Description

The Simple Download Counter plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin&#39;s shortcodes in versions up to, and including, 1.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes like &#39;before&#39; and &#39;after&#39;. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
