WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
Author Box WP Lens < 2.1.6 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting
Description
The Author Box WP Lens plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 2.1.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
