Summary

The AFI WordPress plugin fails to adequately sanitize and escape certain settings, enabling users with elevated privileges, such as administrators, to execute Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. This vulnerability poses a significant risk in configurations where the unfiltered_html capability is restricted, such as multisite installations, allowing attackers to inject malicious scripts that can execute in victims' browsers.

AFI 0 < 1.100.0

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
