Technical details
The plugin fails to properly neutralize user-supplied input during web page generation, allowing authenticated attackers with contributor or developer roles to inject persistent JavaScript code. The vulnerability is stored, meaning the malicious script remains in the database and executes whenever the affected page is viewed. Exploitation requires user interaction in the form of a privileged user submitting or clicking on malicious input.
