Summary

The nicdark ND Shortcodes For Visual Composer plugin from n/a through 7.8 has a stored cross-site scripting flaw (CWE-79) because it does not neutralize input during web page generation. An attacker with low privileges can store script that runs in a victim's browser after a user interacts with the page, and the impact can extend beyond the plugin.
