description

Horizontal scrolling announcements for WordPress through 2.6 is affected by stored cross-site scripting in an announcement setting. An authorized user with access to announcement management can cause script to run in the browser of people who view the affected announcement.

mitigation

Restrict access to announcement management to fully trusted administrators and remove or review untrusted announcements. Until a vendor fix is available, disable the plugin or its public announcement output where this access cannot be controlled.
