AI-suggested

If you cannot patch yet, restrict administrative access to trusted users only and consider monitoring for suspicious activity on the affected plugin's admin pages. Avoid granting unnecessary high privileges that could exploit this vulnerability.

Description

A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Store Locator WordPress plugin before version 1.6.6. The plugin fails to properly sanitize and escape one of its settings before storing and displaying it on the admin page. This allows high-privileged users, such as administrators, to perform stored XSS attacks even if the unfiltered_html capability is disabled, for example in multisite networks. The vulnerability has a low CVSS score of 3.5.
