Summary

The StaffList plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to stored XSS via admin settings due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This affects all versions up to and including 3.2.6 and only multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.

Risk Assessment
