The Magic Fields plugin lacks a CSRF (nonce) token on the request of adding a magic field. The description field of custom fields lacks output encoding which could result in malicious script inserted by an attacker and executed in the browser.
You need to lure a logged-in admin to follow a malicious link containing the poc below.
Proof of concept
The proof of concept below injects script code in the "description" field when adding a new custom field.
