Draft List vulnerabilities

Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Draft List plugin (simple-draft-list) allows stored XSS. Versions up to 2.6.4 are affected.

Draft List is a WordPress plugin to manage and promote unpublished content. Versions 2.6.3 and below are vulnerable to stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in the `[drafts]` shortcode and Draft List widget when the documented custom `template` option places the `{{draft}}` placeholder inside an HTML attribute. The vulnerable code inserts the raw draft `post_title` into `{{draft}}` when the current viewer cannot edit posts. Because the template is sanitized before `{{draft}}` replacement, a Contributor can store a quote-only title payload that breaks out of an attribute in a site-configured Draft List template and executes JavaScript for visitors who load the public page. Version 2.6.4 fixes the issue.

The Draft List plugin for WordPress up to version 2.6.3 has a Stored XSS vulnerability via draft post titles. Authenticated attackers with author-level access can inject scripts that execute for users without edit capabilities.
