What is CVE-2024-7083?

The Email Encoder plugin for WordPress prior to version 2.3.4 is susceptible to a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability. This flaw arises due to inadequate sanitization and escaping of certain settings, enabling users with high privileges, such as administrators, to execute XSS attacks. This is particularly concerning in multisite environments where the unfiltered_html capability is restricted, potentially leading to significant security breaches.

Affected Version(s)
