Technical details

The plugin fails to properly sanitize and escape user-supplied data in the 'user-mediaurl' media field and related user meta fields (biography, session_tokens, persisted_preferences). Authenticated attackers can store malicious payloads in these fields, which are then promoted to the site-wide redux_demo option during media URL repair, resulting in stored XSS that executes in the browsers of all users accessing the affected pages.
