Description Preview

The Sailthru Triggermail WordPress plugin through 1.1 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup). This vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.1, indicating a high severity level.

Overview

The vulnerability lies in the Sailthru Triggermail WordPress plugin, specifically in versions up to and including 1.1. The issue arises from the plugin's failure to sanitise and escape some of its settings. This allows high privilege users, such as admins, to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks, even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed. This could potentially lead to unauthorized access and manipulation of data.

Remediation

Users of the affected plugin are advised to update to a version higher than 1.1, if available. If no update is available, it may be necessary to disable or remove the plugin until a fix is provided. It is also recommended to limit the privileges of users to prevent exploitation of the vulnerability.
