CVE-2023-4599
Description
The Email Encoder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'eeb_mailto' shortcode in versions up to, and including, 2.1.8 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes.

A partial patch was issued in version 2.1.8. The vulnerability was fully patched in 2.1.9.
