What to do now

Update Virtue/Ascend/Pinnacle Toolkit to 4.9.12.2 or later.

Affected versions

• Everything up to and including 4.9.12.1

The Virtue/Ascend/Pinnacle Toolkit plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to, and including, 4.9.12.1. 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.
