This issue, present in all versions up to and including 2.7.70, allows authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access and above to inject malicious scripts. The vulnerability arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the ‘link_title’ parameter, which enables the attacker to store and execute their code whenever a user accesses an injected page.
