Tabs Shortcode <= 2.0.2 - Contributor+ XSS via Shortcode
Publisher and source text is retained separately from QFinch interpretation.
QFinch assessment
The Tabs Shortcode WordPress plugin through 2.0.2 does not validate and escape some of its shortcode attributes before outputting them back in a page/post where the shortcode is embed, which could allow users with the contributor role and above to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks.
