## Affected

- stevejburge Tag, Category, and Taxonomy Manager – AI Autotagger with OpenAI: through 3.12.0

## Description

The WordPress Tag and Category Manager – AI Autotagger plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'st_tag_cloud' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 3.13.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. 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.
