Summary
The BetterDocs – Best Documentation, FAQ & Knowledge Base Plugin with AI Support & Instant Answer For Elementor & Gutenberg plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's shortcode(s) in all versions up to, and including, 3.4.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes.
