Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Content Views plugin for WordPress versions prior to 4.2

Description The Content Views plugin for WordPress is susceptible to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's Grid and List widgets. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher can inject arbitrary web scripts into pages, which will execute when a user accesses the injected page.

Recommendations Update the Content Views plugin to version 4.2 or later.
