7th percentile - higher than 7% of all known CVEs

Summary

The NS Maintenance Mode for WP WordPress plugin through version 1.3.1 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 can inject persistent XSS scripts that execute in other users' browsers, potentially leading to data theft or session hijacking.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the NS Maintenance Mode plugin to a version newer than 1.3.1 that includes a fix, and to restrict admin privileges.
