Descriptions

The WordPress Comments Fields WordPress plugin before 4.1 does not escape Field Error Message, which could allow high-privileged users to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when unfiltered_html is disallowed

El plugin Comments Fields de WordPress versiones anteriores a 4.1, no escapa del mensaje de error de campo, lo que podría permitir a usuarios con altos privilegios llevar a cabo ataques de tipo Cross-Site Scripting incluso cuando la capacidad unfiltered_html está desautorizada

The WordPress Comments Fields plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Error Message setting in versions up to, and including, 4.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with administrative level permissions and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.
