Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WP-Eggdrop plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 0.1

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows authenticated attackers with administrator-level permissions and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The issue only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered html has been disabled.

Recommendations For WP-Eggdrop plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 0.1, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting administrator-level permissions to minimize the risk of exploitation.
