WordPress · Highlight Focus Wordpress Plugin · CVE-2022-3462

**Description**
The issue allows high privilege users, such as admins, to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks, even when the unfiltered html capability is disallowed, for example, in a multisite setup. This is due to the plugin not sanitizing and escaping some of its settings.

At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
