Until a fix is available, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider applying additional input validation or output escaping via custom code or security plugins to mitigate the risk.

Description

The ColorMag theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via a user's Display Name in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authentciated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
