Summary

The GDPR Cookie Compliance WordPress plugin, prior to version 4.15.9, has a vulnerability due to improper sanitization and escaping of certain settings. This flaw enables high-privilege users, such as administrators, to execute Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. This is particularly concerning in environments where the unfiltered_html capability is restricted, such as multisite setups, allowing potential attackers to inject malicious scripts into the application.
