Descriptions

The ExactMetrics WordPress plugin before 7.12.1 does not validate and escape some of its block options before outputting them back in a page/post where the block is embed, which could allow users with the contributor role and above to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks.

The ExactMetrics plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via unspecified block options in posts/pages within versions up to, and including, 7.12.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for contributor-level attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
