Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WP STAGING WordPress Backup Plugin versions prior to 3.4.0 wp-staging-pro WordPress plugin versions prior to 5.4.0

Description The issue concerns the lack of sanitization and escaping of certain settings in the WP STAGING WordPress Backup Plugin and wp-staging-pro WordPress plugin. This could allow 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.

Recommendations For WP STAGING WordPress Backup Plugin versions prior to 3.4.0, update to version 3.4.0 or later. For wp-staging-pro WordPress plugin versions prior to 5.4.0, update to version 5.4.0 or later. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the plugin's settings to minimize the risk of exploitation.
