Upstream source description

The Easy Media Replace WordPress plugin through 0.2.0 does not sanitise and escape an attachment title before outputting it in an HTML attribute in the media library list view, allowing users with the Author role and above to inject arbitrary web scripts that are executed in the browser of a higher privileged user who views the media library.
