AI-suggested

Until an official fix is available, restrict contributor access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting the use of embed shortcodes that accept user-supplied attributes. Monitor vendor communications for updates regarding patches or official mitigations.

Description

Simple Link Directory through 9.0.4 echoes embed shortcode attributes into HTML data attributes without escaping in the embedder template. Attackers with contributor access can craft a shortcode attribute that injects an event handler executing in a viewer's browser.
