Summary

The Postie WordPress plugin before 1.9.71 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).

Risk Assessment

An attacker with admin privileges could inject malicious script that executes in other users' browsers, potentially leading to session hijacking or data theft.

Recommendation

Update the Postie plugin to version 1.9.71 or later.
