Description

The Debug Meta Data plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 1.1.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the a user's user-agent HTTP header value. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
