Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Watu Quiz WordPress plugin versions prior to 3.4.1.2

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

Recommendations For versions prior to 3.4.1.2, update to version 3.4.1.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the plugin's settings to minimize the risk of exploitation.
