Base vector

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

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: MaxButtons WordPress plugin versions prior to 9.8.1

Description: The issue is related to the MaxButtons WordPress plugin, which does not properly sanitize and escape some of its settings. This could allow 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.

Recommendations: For versions prior to 9.8.1, update to version 9.8.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the plugin's settings to minimize the risk of exploitation.
