Summary

The HireZoot WordPress plugin before 4.1.1 does not sanitise or escape some stored data before showing it in the admin dashboard (CWE-79). It also reverses the HTML-entity encoding that would otherwise neutralise that data. An attacker with the Author role can store script that runs in the browser of a logged-in administrator who views the dashboard. A public exploit is linked in the references.
