WordPress WP SimpleMail Plugin Multiple HTML Injection Vulnerabilities

WP SimpleMail plugin for WordPress is prone to multiple HTML-injection vulnerabilities because it fails to sanitize user-supplied input.

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

WP SimpleMail 1.0.6 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
