Description
The Easy Social Icons WordPress plugin before 4.0.3 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings before outputting them on front-end pages, which could allow high-privilege users such as Administrators to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed, for example on a multisite network.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the Easy Social Icons WordPress plugin, affecting versions prior to 4.0.3.
