Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Virtue theme for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.4.8

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via a Post Author's name due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping when the latest posts feature is enabled on the homepage. 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 versions up to, and including, 3.4.8, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue to prevent Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the latest posts feature on the homepage until a patch is available.
