Technical details
The vulnerability is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw in the 'post[body]' parameter caused by insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the Template.php class. An authenticated attacker with subscriber-level access or higher can inject arbitrary JavaScript that persists in the database and executes for all users viewing the affected post.
