Generic Elements <= 1.2.8 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting
Vulnerability Description
The Generic Elements plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via multiple widget fields in version 1.2.8 and earlier. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes.
