Exploitation Summary

CVE-2022-4260 has a Nuclei detection template available — see the Nuclei card below for the Shodan/FOFA recon queries.

Description

The WP-Ban WordPress plugin before 1.69.1 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup).
