Business Name Generator settings bypass restricted HTML privileges
A high-privilege user such as an Administrator can store script-bearing settings that are not sufficiently sanitized or escaped. Execution when affected settings output is viewed crosses the intended unfiltered_html restriction, including on multisite. The export does not disclose the specific setting, endpoint or output function. Authoritative affected range: <= 1.3. No fixed release is confirmed in this review.

Technical description
The Business Name Generator WordPress plugin through 1.3 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup).
