The Featured Image with URL WordPress plugin before 1.0.6 does not sanitise and escape a stored image attribute value before outputting it, which could allow users with a role as low as Contributor to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks that execute in the browser of any user viewing the affected post, including higher-privileged users such as Editors and Administrators.
Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
| Vendor | Product | Default status | Versions | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unknown | Featured Image with URL | unaffected |
