What it is

The BoldGrid Easy SEO – Simple and Effective SEO plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the meta description field in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.13 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
