AI-powered analysis for quick understanding

This vulnerability allows an attacker with high-level access, like an admin, to inject malicious scripts into the website, which can then be executed by other users visiting the site. This can happen even if certain security settings are in place, such as when the site is part of a multisite setup that restricts direct HTML editing.

Technical Description

The Float to Top Button WordPress plugin through 2.3.6 does not 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)
