The plugin stores the breeze_api_token setting without sufficient input sanitization or output escaping, causing supplied markup to execute when an affected page is viewed. Administrator-level access and subsequent user interaction are required, and exposure is limited to WordPress Multisite or installations with unfiltered_html disabled.
