Descriptions

The Simple Video Directory WordPress plugin before 1.4.4 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow contributors and higher to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup)

El complemento Simple Video Directory para WordPress anterior a 1.4.4 no sanitiza ni escapa a algunas de sus configuraciones, lo que podría permitir a los contribuyentes y superiores realizar ataques de Cross Site Scripting almacenado incluso cuando la capacidad unfiltered_html no está permitida (por ejemplo, en una configuración multisitio).

The Simple Video Directory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-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.
