Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Pocket News Generator plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 0.2.0

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings, specifically Consumer Key and Access Token, due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows authenticated attackers with administrator-level permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages, which will execute when a user accesses an injected page. The issue only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered html has been disabled.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 0.2.0, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the admin settings for Consumer Key and Access Token to minimize the risk of exploitation.
