FKIE_CVE-2022-2170
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2022-08-01 13:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 04:41
Severity
Summary
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.
