 * Hi – Will the issue below be patched? Thanks!
 * _If a security vulnerability were to be discovered (and I were alerted to it)
   I would push an update to fix that_ [@philbuchanan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/philbuchanan/)

 * The Accordion Shortcodes plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site
   Scripting via the plugin’s shortcodes in versions up to, and including, 2.4.2
   due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes.
   This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor level and
   above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute 
   whenever a user accesses an injected page
