Descriptions

The Newsletter WordPress plugin before 7.4.6 does not escape and sanitise the preheader_text setting, which could allow high privilege users to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks when the unfilteredhtml is disallowed

El plugin Newsletter de WordPress versiones anteriores a 7.4.6, no escapa y sanea la configuración preheader_text, lo que podría permitir a usuarios muy privilegiados llevar a cabo ataques de tipo Cross-Site Scripting Almacenado cuando el unfilteredhtml no está permitido

The Newsletter plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the preheader_text value in versions up to, and including, 7.4.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with administrative level permissions and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.
