The Poll Maker plugin for WordPress is susceptible to Stored Cross-Site Scripting due to inadequate input sanitization and output escaping in its poll settings.

It primarily affects multi-site installations, particularly in environments where the unfiltered_html feature is disabled, posing significant security risks to website users.
