AI-suggested

If you cannot patch yet, restrict administrative access to trusted users only and monitor plugin updates for a security patch. Avoid using vulnerable versions of the Email Encoder plugin in environments where high privilege user accounts may be exposed.

Description

The Email Encoder WordPress plugin before 2.3.4 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup).
