Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WP Backpack WordPress plugin versions through 2.1

Description The issue allows 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. This is due to the plugin not sanitizing and escaping some of its settings.

Recommendations For WP Backpack WordPress plugin versions through 2.1, update to a version that properly sanitizes and escapes its settings to prevent Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the ability of high privilege users to access and modify the plugin's settings until a patch is available.
