Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Revanth Hari Narayana Matte.
The CMP – Coming Soon & Maintenance Plugin by NiteoThemes plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to 4.1.18. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with editor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.
