DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in the GigPress plugin for
WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct
script insertion attacks.

Input passed via the "Notes" field when adding or editing a show is
not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to
insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a
user's browser session in context of an affected site when the
malicious data is being viewed.

Successful exploitation requires a user role with permissions to use
GigPress.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.1.8 and reported in
version 2.1.10. Prior versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.1.11.
