Affected versions

• Everything up to and including 8.7.7

The EWWW Image Optimizer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to, and including, 8.7.7. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
