Read the original description
The Firelight Lightbox WordPress plugin before 2.3.23 does not escape the URL of links it opens in its Classic lightbox before inserting it into the page as HTML, which could allow users with a role as low as Contributor to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks against users who click a crafted link.
