Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence.
The wp-Monalisa plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via its emoticon parameters in versions up to, and including, 6.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
