CVE-2022-2371: YaySMTP < 2.2.1 - Subscriber+ Stored Cross-Site Scripting
First published: Mon Aug 08 2022(Updated: )
The YaySMTP WordPress plugin before 2.2.1 does not have proper authorisation when saving its settings, allowing users with a role as low as subscriber to change them, and use that to conduct Stored Cross-Site Scripting attack due to the lack of escaping in them as well.
