An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This can allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks. WordPress Plugin User Registration-Custom Registration Form, Login Form And User Profile version 2.0.1 is vulnerable; prior versions may also be affected.
