WordPress · Wp Athletics · CVE-2022-1549
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
WP Athletics WordPress plugin versions 1.1.7 and earlier
**Description**
The issue arises from the plugin's failure to sanitize parameters before storing them in the database and not escaping the values when outputting them back in the admin dashboard, leading to a Stored Cross-Site Scripting issue. This allows malicious scripts to be stored and executed, potentially affecting the security of the WordPress installation.
**Recommendations**
For WP Athletics WordPress plugin versions 1.1.7 and earlier, update to a version later than 1.1.7 to resolve the issue.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
