Scope changed to S:C because stored XSS executes in the visitor's browser context, distinct from the plugin; PR:H reflects the non-default admin delegation required for an Editor to access CMP settings.

DescriptionCVE.org

The CMP WordPress plugin before 4.1.18 does not sanitise and escape a settings value before outputting it on the coming-soon page, allowing users with the Editor role (when the administrator has granted the Editor role access to the CMP WordPress plugin before 4.1.18's admin-bar controls) to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute when a visitor views the page.

Any visitor who subsequently loads the coming-soon page executes the injected script in their browser. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Two conditions must both be satisfied: first, the WordPress site must be running CMP plugin version 4.1.17 or earlier; second, an administrator must have explicitly granted the Editor role access to CMP admin-bar controls - this is a non-default configuration that requires deliberate action by a site administrator. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
