Last modified
CVE-2023-1982 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.8/10 on the CVSS scale. The Front Editor WordPress plugin through 4.0.4 does not sanitize and escape some of its form settings, which could allow high-privilege users to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup). EPSS estimates a 0.38% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
