Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Sandeep Vishwakarma.
The WP Directory Kit plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to HTML Injection in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.6. This is due to improper sanitization and escaping on a value. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to inject HTML in a field they should not be able to .
