Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Name Directory plugin for WordPress versions through 1.30.3

Description The Name Directory plugin for WordPress is susceptible to Stored Cross-Site Scripting. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the name directory name and name directory description parameters. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. When a user accesses an injected page, the scripts will execute.

Recommendations Update the Name Directory plugin to a version later than 1.30.3.
