AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: The Simple Video Directory WordPress plugin versions prior to 1.4.4

Description: The issue concerns the lack of sanitization and escaping of some settings in the plugin, which could allow contributors and higher to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. This is possible even when the unfiltered html capability is disallowed, such as in a multisite setup.

Recommendations: For versions prior to 1.4.4, update to version 1.4.4 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting contributor access to the plugin's settings until the update is applied.
