AI-suggested

Users should upgrade the WPeMatico RSS Feed Fetcher plugin to version 2.8.27 or later where this vulnerability is fixed. Until patched, restrict Contributor and higher roles from importing untrusted RSS feeds to reduce risk.

Description

WPeMatico RSS Feed Fetcher WordPress plugin versions before 2.8.27 do not sanitize imported RSS feed content before storing it as post content. This allows users with Contributor role or higher to inject stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) payloads. The vulnerability is identified as CWE-79 and has a CVSS score of 6.8, indicating a medium severity risk. Exploitation requires user interaction and privileges at least at the Contributor level.
