Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence.

The WP Mega Menu plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthenticated settings updates that can lead to stored cross-site scripting in versions up to, and including 1.3.6 due to a missing capability check and insufficient validation. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update the plugins settings and inject malicious web scripts.
