Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Role Scoper plugin for WordPress versions prior to 1.3.67

Description A cross-site scripting (XSS) issue exists, allowing remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the object name parameter in a "rs-object role edit" page to "wp-admin/admin.php".

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.3.67, update to version 1.3.67 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "rs-object role edit" page in "wp-admin/admin.php" to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the object name parameter in the affected page until the issue is resolved.
