Description

The WP GDPR plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Button Text setting in versions up to, and including, 2.1.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for Admin+ attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations or installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.
