- Published: 2022-08-01 · Updated: 2024-08-03

## Affected

- Unknown Microsoft Advertising Universal Event Tracking (UET): from 1.0.4, fixed in 1.0.4

## Description

The Microsoft Advertising Universal Event Tracking (UET) WordPress plugin before 1.0.4 does not sanitise and escape its settings, allowing high privilege users such as admin to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed. Due to the nature of this plugin, well crafted XSS can also leak into the frontpage.
