AI-suggested

Upgrade the WPeMatico RSS Feed Fetcher plugin to version 2.8.26 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigation is indicated by the vendor advisory. Patch status is not explicitly stated but the presence of a fixed version implies an official fix is available.

Description

The WPeMatico RSS Feed Fetcher WordPress plugin before 2.8.26 does not sanitize and escape content it retrieves from a user-supplied source before rendering it, which could allow users such as contributors to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks against higher-privileged users who review the campaign.
