Description
The Name Directory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'dir' attribute of the plugin's namedirectory shortcode in versions 1.25.0 up to, and including, 1.34.2 due to the attribute value being echoed without escaping into a single-quoted HTML attribute of the directory's anchor element. 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.
