Summary

The WP-Recall plugin for WordPress versions prior to 16.26.12 is susceptible to a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability due to inadequate sanitization and escaping of specific settings. This flaw allows high privilege users, such as administrators, to launch XSS attacks even in restricted environments where the unfiltered_html capability is disabled, such as multisite setups. It is crucial for users to update to the latest version to mitigate this risk.

Affected Version(s)

WP-Recall 0 < 16.26.12
