Description

The Simply Excerpts WordPress plugin through 1.4 does not sanitize and escape some fields in the plugin settings, which could allow high-privilege users such as an administrator to inject arbitrary web scripts even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in a multisite setup).

Affected WordPress components

A confirmed match is backed by the plugin or theme slug. A possible match is based on the product name only and should be verified.

Affected products and versions

  • Unknown Simply Excerpts — Up to and including 1.4
  • shooflysolutions simply_excerpts — Up to and including 1.4
