Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Popup box WordPress plugin versions prior to 3.8.6

Description The issue allows high privilege users, such as admins, to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks due to the plugin's failure to sanitise and escape some of its settings. This can occur even when the unfiltered html capability is disallowed, for example in a multisite setup.

Recommendations For versions prior to 3.8.6, update to version 3.8.6 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the ability of high privilege users to access and modify the plugin's settings until a patch is applied.
