CVE-2022-1566 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.8/10 on the CVSS scale. The Quotes llama WordPress plugin before 1.0.0 does not sanitise and escape Quotes, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when unfiltered_html is disallowed. The attack could also be performed by tricking an admin to import a malicious CSV file. EPSS estimates a 0.64% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
