WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

WebP Express < 0.25.16 - Unauthenticated Stored XSS via Alter HTML Parser

Description

The plugin does not escape values that its bundled HTML parser re-emits into element attributes when a non-default image delivery mode is enabled, allowing unauthenticated users to submit content that is stored and later executed as Cross-Site Scripting in the browser of any user viewing an affected page, including administrators.
