Joli Table Of Contents vulnerability

What happened

The Joli Table Of Contents WordPress plugin before 2.8.1 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings before outputting them in an admin page, which could allow high-privilege users such as administrators to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed, for example in a multisite setup.

Affected versions

Joli Table Of Contents: 2.0.0 through before 2.8.1 (semver) Fixed: See vendor advisory.

Why it matters

Review the vendor advisory and exposure of the affected product to determine operational impact.
