This issue, present in versions 2.4.0 and earlier, allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject malicious web scripts into the 'lgx-counter' shortcode. The insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes enable the attacker to execute the injected scripts whenever a user accesses an affected page.

Users are advised to update the plugin to the latest version as soon as possible to mitigate this risk.
