Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Simple Giveaways WordPress plugin versions prior to 2.45.1

Description The issue allows high privilege users, such as admins, to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. This is possible because some settings are not properly sanitised and escaped, and this vulnerability can be exploited even when the unfiltered html capability is disallowed, for example in a multisite setup.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.45.1, update to version 2.45.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting administrative access to trusted users only until the update can be applied.
