Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions ProfilePress plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 4.15.8

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ProfilePress User Panel widget due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For ProfilePress plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 4.15.8, update to a version higher than 4.15.8 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the ProfilePress User Panel widget for users with contributor-level access and above until a patch is available.
