Description

The ProfilePress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting via $data['name'] parameter in versions up to, and including, 4.5.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
