WordPress Vulnerabilities
WP < 7.1.4 - Stored XSS in Multisite Network Users Screen (Defense-in-Depth)
Description
WordPress does not escape a user login value in all cases before outputting it on a multisite network administration screen, which could allow Stored Cross-Site Scripting where that value was populated by a means that bypasses the normal username sanitisation. This is a defence-in-depth hardening.
