CVE-2023-2029 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.8/10 on the CVSS scale. The PrePost SEO WordPress plugin through 3.0 does not properly sanitize some of its settings, which could allow high-privilege users to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup). EPSS estimates a 0.61% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
