Description
The Tabs plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via several parameters in versions up to, and including, 3.7.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with high-level permissions, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
