Description
The wp-publications WordPress plugin through 1.2 does not escape filenames before outputting them back in the page, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup).
