The User Profile Builder WordPress plugin before 4.0.1 does not escape the output of one of its optional shortcodes, allowing users with a role as low as contributor to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks against any user viewing the affected content, including administrators. The shortcode is not enabled by default.
