Summary

The Aklamator INfeed WordPress plugin, up to version 2.0.0, is susceptible to Stored Cross-Site Scripting due to improper sanitization and escaping of its settings. This vulnerability permits high privilege users, such as administrators, to conduct attacks that could lead to malicious scripts being stored and executed within the site. Such a flaw remains exploitable even when capabilities that would normally restrict HTML input, such as unfiltered_html, are disabled, posing a significant security risk in environments like multisite setups.

Affected Version(s)

Aklamator INfeed 0 <= 2.0.0
