WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Featured Image with URL < 1.0.6 - Contributor+ Stored XSS via Image Alt Text

Description

The plugin does not sanitise and escape a stored image attribute value before outputting it, which could allow users with a role as low as Contributor to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks that execute in the browser of any user viewing the affected post, including higher-privileged users such as Editors and Administrators.
