CVE-2023-5228: Wpeverest User Registration

Medium severity, CVSS 4.8. EPSS: 0.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The User Registration WordPress plugin before 3.0.4.2 does not sanitize 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).

Affected products

• Wpeverest User Registration: before 3.0.4.2 (fixed in 3.0.4.2)
