The plugin does not sanitize user input when an authenticated user adds Author or Book Title, then does not escape these values when outputting to the browser leading to an Authenticated Stored XSS Cross-Site Scripting issue.

PoC

1. Install WordPress 5.7.2 2. Install and activate Custom Book 3. Navigate to Tools >> Current Book and enter the XSS payload into the Book and Author input field. 4. Click Update Options 5. You will observe that the payload successfully got stored into the database and when you are triggering the same functionality at that time JavaScript payload is executing successfully and we are getting a pop-up.
