Description
The Mang Board plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'mb_image' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.5, due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied shortcode attributes. The 'align' attribute is placed unescaped inside a style attribute, and item properties such as 'title', 'placeholder', 'id', 'attribute' and 'event' are added unescaped to the generated element's attribute string. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
