Descriptions

The WordPress Popup WordPress plugin through 1.9.3.8 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup)

El plugin Popup de WordPress versiones hasta 1.9.3.8 no comprueba ni escapa de algunos de sus ajustes, lo que podría permitir a usuarios con altos privilegios, como el administrador, llevar a cabo ataques de tipo Cross-Site Scripting cuando la capacidad unfiltered_html no está permitida (por ejemplo, en una configuración multisitio)

The Popups plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via several shortcode attributes in versions up to, and including, 1.9.3.8. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
