Summary

The Font Farsi WordPress plugin, up to version 1.6.6, includes a vulnerability that fails to properly sanitize and escape certain user-configurable settings. This oversight may allow users with elevated privileges, such as administrators, to execute stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks within the application, even in environments where the unfiltered_html capability is restricted (such as multisite setups). This flaw emphasizes the necessity for stringent security practices and regular updates to maintain application integrity and protect against potential exploits.

Affected Version(s)

Font Farsi 0 <= 1.6.6

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
