Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Text Hover WordPress plugin versions prior to 4.2

Description The issue allows high privilege users to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks due to the lack of sanitization and escaping of the text to hover, even when the unfiltered html capability is disallowed.

Recommendations For versions prior to 4.2, update to version 4.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the text hover feature to minimize the risk of exploitation.
