Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Color Palette plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 4.3.2

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages via the hex parameter. The injected scripts will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For The Color Palette plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 4.3.2, update to a version later than 4.3.2 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the hex parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
