AI-suggested

Since the vulnerability affects versions before 2.0.23, upgrading to version 2.0.23 or later is likely the intended remediation once available. Until then, restrict Contributor role permissions or avoid using the vulnerable shortcode parameters if possible.

Description

The Advanced Ads WordPress plugin before 2.0.23 does not sanitize and escape a shortcode parameter before outputting it in the page, allowing users with the Contributor role and above to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute when the affected content is viewed, including by higher-privileged users.
