Last modified
CVE-2022-2340 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.8/10 on the CVSS scale. The W-DALIL WordPress plugin through 2.0 does not sanitise and escape some of its fields, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup). EPSS estimates a 0.57% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
