WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
Post Grid < 2.1.16 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via post_types
Description
The plugin does not sanitise and escape the post_types parameter before outputting it back in the response of the post_grid_update_taxonomies_terms_by_posttypes AJAX action, available to any authenticated users, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting
Proof of Concept

<input type="text" value="<html><img src onerror=alert(/XSS/)>" name="post_types">
<input type="submit" value="Send">
</form>
