Link Column Plugin allows users with View/Configure permission to add a new column to list views that contain a user-configurable link.\n\nLink Column Plugin 1.0 and earlier does not filter the URL for these links, allowing the javascript: scheme. This results in a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exploitable by users able to configure list views.
