Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WP Spell Check versions prior to 9.13

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 multisite setups. This is due to the plugin not escaping ignored words.

Recommendations For versions prior to 9.13, update to version 9.13 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the ignored words feature until a patch is available.
