CVE-2022-2170: Microsoft Advertising Universal Event Tracking

Medium severity, CVSS 4.8. EPSS: 1.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The Microsoft Advertising Universal Event Tracking (UET) WordPress plugin before 1.0.4 does not sanitise and escape its settings, allowing high privilege users such as admin to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed. Due to the nature of this plugin, well crafted XSS can also leak into the frontpage.

Affected products

• Microsoft Microsoft Advertising Universal Event Tracking: before 1.0.4 (fixed in 1.0.4)
