Vulnerability Description
The Media Library Assistant plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's mla_tag_cloud and mla_term_list shortcodes in all versions up to, and including, 3.26 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes.
