AI-suggested
Upgrade the ContentPen plugin to version 1.1.1 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigation is required as the fix addresses the root cause by protecting the REST API key from unauthorized disclosure.
Description
The ContentPen WordPress plugin versions before 1.1.1 expose their REST API key to unauthenticated users. This exposure allows attackers to create posts containing unfiltered JavaScript, resulting in stored cross-site scripting (XSS) that executes in the browsers of any visitors, including administrators.
