Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Sociable WordPress plugin versions 4.3.4.1 and earlier

Description The issue allows high privilege users to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks against other users, even when the unfiltered html capability is disallowed, due to the plugin not sanitizing or escaping some of its settings before outputting them in the admin's dashboard.

Recommendations For Sociable WordPress plugin versions 4.3.4.1 and earlier, update to a version later than 4.3.4.1 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the admin dashboard to minimize the risk of exploitation.
