The PVN Auth Popup WordPress plugin, when used up to version 1.0.0, exhibits a serious security flaw due to insufficient sanitization and escaping of its settings. This vulnerability enables high privilege users, such as administrators, to conduct Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. This risk persists even in environments where the unfiltered_html capability is restricted, such as multisite configurations, making it crucial for users to update and secure their installations to prevent exploitations.
