Description
The Content Audit plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery via the content_audit_save_bulk_edit AJAX action which allows for stored XSS payloads in versions up to, and including, 1.9.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in a victim's browser.
