Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Ultimate Dashboard WordPress plugin versions prior to 3.8.6

Description The issue concerns a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability. It arises because the plugin does not properly sanitise and escape some of its settings, allowing high-privilege users, such as admins, to perform attacks even when the unfiltered html capability is disallowed, for example, in multisite setups.

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 modify plugin settings until the update can be applied.
