Description
The Media Library Categories plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘wpmediacategory_taxonomy’ plugin option in versions up to, and including, 1.9.9 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for administrator-level attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
