Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Ultimate Dashboard plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.7.7

Description The issue arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in admin settings, allowing authenticated attackers with administrator-level permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages. This affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered html has been disabled, making it possible for injected scripts to execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 3.7.7, update to a version that includes the necessary input sanitization and output escaping fixes to prevent Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks.
