15th percentile - higher than 15% of all known CVEs

Summary

The MembershipWorks – Membership, Events & Directory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in all versions up to, and including, 6.14 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.

Risk Assessment

An attacker with administrator privileges can execute malicious code in other users' browsers, potentially leading to account takeover or data theft.

Recommendation

Update the MembershipWorks plugin to a version later than 6.14. Limit the number of administrator accounts and consider enabling unfiltered_html filtering.
