**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Restrict Usernames Emails Characters WordPress plugin versions prior to 3.1.4
**Description**
The issue allows high privilege users, such as admins, to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks, even when unfiltered html is disallowed, due to the plugin not sanitizing and escaping some of its settings.
