Summary
The Content Pilot (Autoblogging & Affiliate Marketing Suite) plugin for WordPress is affected up to and including version 2.2.4. The plugin saves the HTML meta description of remotely fetched articles as post content without sanitization, so the markup is rendered on the front end (CWE-79). An unauthenticated attacker who controls the content of an RSS source that an administrator has configured for a campaign can inject web scripts that run when a user opens an injected page.

Description from the CNA
The Content Pilot – Autoblogging & Affiliate Marketing Suite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 2.2.4. This is due to the plugin extracting the HTML meta description from each remotely-fetched article (WPCP_Readability::parse_meta()), piping that value through the article template substitution and html_entity_decode() in WPCP_Module::insert_post(), and then calling wp_insert_post() after switching the current user to the configured campaign author (an Administrator with the unfiltered_html capability by default) — so no wp_kses_post sanitization is applied to the attacker-controlled HTML before it is persisted as post_content and rendered on the front end. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers who control the content of any RSS source an administrator has configured a Content Pilot RSS campaign to consume to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
