What the vulnerability does
The Name Directory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'name_directory_name' and 'name_directory_description' parameters in all versions up to, and including, 1.30.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

The vulnerability affects the scope beyond the vulnerable component itself. An attacker can inject code that executes in users' browsers when they visit affected pages, potentially stealing session data or performing actions on their behalf.
