The Media Library Assistant plugin for WordPress contains a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability (CVE-2024-2475) that affects all versions up to and including 3.13. The vulnerability was discovered in the plugin's shortcode functionality due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes (NVD).
