Update to version 4.9.6 or later immediately. Until patching is possible, enable a Web Application Firewall or security plugin that blocks XSS attacks, such as Patchstack's mitigation rules.

## Technical details

The plugin fails to properly neutralize user input during web page generation, allowing stored XSS injection. The vulnerability requires user interaction (an unauthenticated attacker cannot directly inject; a privileged user must be tricked into performing an action) but once injected, the malicious payload executes for all site visitors. The fix is available in version 4.9.6 and later.
