Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Wp-Adv-Quiz WordPress plugin versions prior to 1.0.3

Description The issue allows high privilege users, such as admins, to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks, even when unfiltered html is disallowed, due to the plugin not sanitizing and escaping some of its settings.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.0.3, update to version 1.0.3 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting administrative access to trusted users only until the update can be applied.
