Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions CM Tooltip Glossary WordPress plugin version prior to 4.3.4

Description The issue concerns the CM Tooltip Glossary WordPress plugin, which does not properly sanitize and escape some of its settings. This could allow high-privilege users, such as administrators, 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 4.3.4, update to version 4.3.4 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the vulnerable settings until a patch is applied. Avoid using the unfiltered html capability in multisite setups to minimize the risk of exploitation.
