Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to R3N0.
The Cooked – Recipe Management plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to HTML Injection in all versions up to, and including, 1.7.15.4. This is due to the plugin not properly escaping/validating input to _recipe_settings. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary HTML in a field that should not allow it.
