vBSEO 'Title' Field HTML Injection Vulnerability

vBSEO is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content.

Attacker-supplied HTML and script code would run in the context of the affected site, potentially allowing an attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user; other attacks are also possible.

Versions prior to vBSEO 3.6.0 RC2 are vulnerable.
