Input validation vulnerability in Authors List 2.0.3

The Authors List plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to a security issue known as Reflected Cross-Site Scripting. This vulnerability affects versions up to and including 2.0.2 of the plugin. It is caused by the plugin not properly sanitizing and escaping the input provided by users, which makes it possible for attackers to inject malicious code into pages. These malicious scripts will be executed if the user is tricked into performing an action such as clicking a link.
