DescriptionThe HireZoot WordPress plugin before 4.1.1 does not sanitise and escape some of its stored data before outputting it in the admin dashboard, and additionally reverses the HTML-entity encoding that would otherwise neutralise it, allowing users with the Author role to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks that execute in the context of a logged-in administrator.
