Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: User Submitted Posts WordPress plugin versions prior to 20240516

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 a multisite setup. This is due to the plugin not sanitizing and escaping some of its settings.

Recommendations: For versions prior to 20240516, update to a version that includes the necessary sanitization and escaping of settings to prevent Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the ability of high privilege users to modify plugin settings until a patch is available.
