Description
========================================================================
========
Once a user is registered he can add new subscription packages or
modify existing ones. No data sanitization is
taking place before saving package details in DB. This allows a
malicious user to include JS code in package name
and/or package description.
PoC

`http://vuln.site.tld/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php` with data:
