Description
The Limit Login Attempts plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 1.7.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping when displaying usernames on the log page. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with subscriber-level permissions or above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever an administrator accesses the plugin's settings page.
