Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions UsersWP plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 1.2.60

Description The UsersWP plugin for WordPress is susceptible to Stored Cross-Site Scripting. Insufficient input sanitization of user-supplied URL fields and improper output escaping when rendering user profile data in badge widgets allow authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute when a user accesses a page containing the affected badge widget.

Recommendations Update the UsersWP plugin to a version later than 1.2.60.
