Title
Email Encoder – Protect Email Addresses and Phone Numbers <= 2.4.4 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via eeb_mailto Shortcode
Summary
The Email Encoder – Protect Email Addresses and Phone Numbers plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'eeb_mailto' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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.

Title
WP Mailto Links – Protect Email Addresses <= 3.1.3 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Shortcode
Summary
The WP Mailto Links – Protect Email Addresses plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'wpml_mailto' shortcode in versions up to, and including, 3.1.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This was partially patched in version 3.1.3 and fully patched in version 3.1.4.

Title
Email Encoder <= 2.1.8 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Shortcode
Summary
The Email Encoder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'eeb_mailto' shortcode in versions up to, and including, 2.1.8 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. A partial patch was issued in version 2.1.8. The vulnerability was fully patched in 2.1.9.

          "value": "The Email Encoder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the \u0027eeb_mailto\u0027 shortcode in versions up to, and including, 2.1.8 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. A partial patch was issued in version 2.1.8. The vulnerability was fully patched in 2.1.9."
