Description

The Jetpack plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via a shortcode in versions up to, and including, 7.9. This makes it possible for medium-level authenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in administrative pages and posts that execute whenever a user accesses the page with the stored web scripts.
