Technical details
The plugin fails to properly escape user-supplied profile names before outputting them in the page title and performs HTML entity decoding after its own sanitization, allowing stored XSS. An unauthenticated attacker who registers an account can inject JavaScript payloads that persist in the database and execute when any visitor, including administrators, views the profile. The vulnerability is triggered via profile page rendering and requires only account registration.
