Summary

The Paid Membership Plugin for WordPress, specifically versions prior to 4.15.20, has a critical issue where it fails to properly sanitize and escape certain configuration settings. This oversight enables high-privilege users, including administrators, to execute Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks, even in scenarios where the unfiltered_html capability is restricted, such as in multisite environments. Attackers could leverage this vulnerability to inject malicious scripts that can be executed in the context of other users.
