Description
The plugin 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)
Proof of Concept
1. Go to https://example.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=pvn_auth_popup
2. In the first section, enter the payload `"><script>alert(1)</script>`
for the "Login text" input
3. Save and see the XSS
Note: Other fields are likely vulnerable
