Technical details

Stored cross-site scripting (XSS) via improper HTML filtering in comment submissions. The plugin expands its allowed HTML elements for the editor context but fails to restrict this whitelist when processing content from unauthenticated users, allowing malicious markup to be stored and executed when the page is viewed. Attack vector is network with no privilege requirement; user interaction is required (victim must view the page with the injected payload).
