Summary

The Email Encoder WordPress plugin before 2.3.4 does not sanitize 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

This may lead to malicious script execution in site users' browsers, session theft, or admin account takeover.

Recommendation

Update the Email Encoder plugin to version 2.3.4 or later and limit the number of high-privilege accounts.
