CVE-2023-2802 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.8/10 on the CVSS scale. The Ultimate Addons for Contact Form 7 WordPress plugin before 3.1.29 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). EPSS estimates a 0.40% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
