Summary

CVE-2023-2029 is a vulnerability affecting the PrePost SEO plugin for WordPress. The issue lies in the plugin's settings, which fail to sanitize certain input appropriately. This shortcoming allows high-privilege users to execute Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks, bypassing the unfiltered_html capability restriction, even in multisite configurations. This could potentially lead to serious security consequences, including data theft or site takeover. WordPress users are advised to update the plugin to the latest version as soon as possible to mitigate this risk.
