Payment Button for PayPal <= 1.2.3.35 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting
Vulnerability Description
The Payment Button for PayPal plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'wp_paypal_checkout' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.3.35 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes.
