Recommendation: Plan a near-term fix — a public PoC already exists.
The Limit Login Attempts WordPress plugin before 4.0.50 does not escape the IP addresses (which can be controlled by attacker via headers such as X-Forwarded-For) of attempted logins before outputting them in the reports table, leading to an Unauthenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting issue.
