Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WP ULike WordPress plugin versions prior to 4.7.5

Description The issue is related to the WP ULike WordPress plugin, which does not properly sanitise and escape some of its settings. This could allow high-privilege users, such as editors, to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks, even when unfiltered html is disallowed.

Recommendations For versions prior to 4.7.5, update the WP ULike WordPress plugin to version 4.7.5 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the privileges of high-privilege users, such as editors, to minimize the risk of exploitation.
