Summary
The Media LIbrary Assistant plugin for WordPress, from n/a through 3.42, contains a cross-site scripting flaw. Input is not neutralized during web page generation (CWE-79), which allows DOM-based XSS. A remote attacker with low privileges can get a user to interact with a crafted page, and the injected script then runs in that user's browser with a changed scope.
