Summary

The Stylish Google Sheet Reader plugin for WordPress versions prior to 4.1 contains a vulnerability where user-supplied input is not properly sanitized or escaped before being rendered on the web page.

As a result, attackers can potentially steal sensitive information or manipulate site settings.
