Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Featured Image from URL (FIFU) WordPress plugin versions prior to 4.0.1

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

Recommendations For versions prior to 4.0.1, update to version 4.0.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the unfiltered html capability to minimize the risk of exploitation.
