Description

The Plugins List plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the replace_plugin_list_tags function in versions up to, and including, 2.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with author-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
