 "title": "Simple Staff List <= 2.2.5 - Authenticated (Editor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Staff List Template",
 "description": "The Simple Staff List plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the staff list template settings in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.5 due to insufficient input sanitization of the template HTML for users lacking the unfiltered_html capability and missing output escaping of the saved template and CSS in the settings textareas. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with access to the template settings (editor-level and above) to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute on the front end and in the admin area. This only affects multisite installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.",
