WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Tutor LMS < 2.0.10 - Admin+ Stored Cross-Site Scripting

Description

The plugin does not escape some course parameters, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup)
