AI-suggested

Administrators should review plugin usage in multi-site environments and consider restricting administrator access to trusted users only. Monitor the vendor's advisory channels for updates regarding patches or mitigations. Since this vulnerability requires administrator privileges and specific WordPress configurations, limiting administrative access and carefully managing multi-site installations can reduce risk.

Description

The Responsive Header plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via multiple plugin settings parameters in all versions up to, and including, 1.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access 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.
