Summary

The Paid Membership Plugin for WordPress versions prior to 4.15.15 contains a critical security flaw that fails to properly sanitize and escape certain Membership Plan settings. This oversight can enable high-privileged users, such as administrators, to execute Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks, even in environments where the unfiltered_html capability is restricted, such as multisite setups. This vulnerability can lead to significant security risks, including unauthorized access and data manipulation within WordPress sites.
