## Description

The WP Recipe Maker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via list roundup items in versions 9.0.0 through 10.9.1. The list saver keeps arbitrary, unsanitized item data keys, and the list shortcode joins those keys and values into a wprm-recipe-roundup-item shortcode string without validating them. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to break out of the generated shortcode and inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
