Until an official fix is available, restrict access to the WordPress admin settings page to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the WP App Bar plugin if it is not essential. Monitor vendor channels for updates or patches addressing this vulnerability.
Description
The WP App Bar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'app-bar-features' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.5. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping combined with a missing authorization check in the `App_Bar_Settings` class constructor. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts into multiple plugin settings that will execute whenever a user accesses the admin settings page.
