Summary

The Advanced Popups plugin for WordPress (all versions up to and including 1.2.3) is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'Notification Button Link' field due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. An authenticated attacker with author-level access or higher can inject arbitrary web scripts into pages that execute when users visit them.

Risk Assessment

Stored XSS can lead to session theft, account takeover, or distribution of malicious code to site users. The risk is especially high if the site has many authors or editors.

Recommendation

Update the Advanced Popups plugin to a version newer than 1.2.3 that contains the fix for this issue.
