Descriptions
The POST SMTP WordPress plugin before 2.8.7 does not sanitise and escape the msg parameter before outputting it back in the page, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting which could be used against high privilege users such as admin.
POST SMTP WordPress plugin anterior a 2.8.7 no sanitiza ni escapa el parámetro msg antes de devolverlo a la página, lo que genera cross site scripting reflejado que podría usarse contra usuarios con privilegios elevados, como el administrador.
