Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Rafshanzani Suhada.
The YaySMTP – Simple WP SMTP Mail plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'settings[fromName]' parameter in versions up to, and including, 2.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with minimal permissions such as a subscriber, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
