Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Multi-column Tag Map versions prior to 17.0.40

Description The Multi-column Tag Map plugin for WordPress is susceptible to Stored Cross-Site Scripting through admin settings. Insufficient input sanitization and output escaping allow authenticated attackers with administrator-level permissions or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These scripts execute when a user accesses the injected page. This issue specifically impacts multi-site installations and those where unfiltered html has been disabled.

Recommendations Update Multi-column Tag Map to version 17.0.40 or later.
