If you cannot patch yet, avoid exposing the vulnerable shortcode on publicly accessible pages or restrict access to trusted users only.
Description
The Taskbuilder WordPress plugin before 5.0.8 does not properly sanitise a URL parameter before echoing it into inline JavaScript on a frontend page containing one of its shortcodes, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability that can be triggered against any logged-in user.
