## Affected

- Unknown WP-Recall: fixed in 16.26.12

## Description

The WP-Recall WordPress plugin before 16.26.12 does not sanitise and 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).
