Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Microsoft Advertising Universal Event Tracking (UET) WordPress plugin versions prior to 1.0.4

Description The issue allows high privilege users, such as admins, to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks, even when the unfiltered html capability is disallowed. Well-crafted XSS can also leak into the frontpage due to the nature of the plugin. This can be exploited by a remote attacker to conduct Cross-Site Scripting attacks.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.0.4, update to version 1.0.4 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the plugin's settings to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the plugin until the issue is resolved.
