Summary

AdvancedCoding's wpDiscuz plugin for WordPress has a stored cross-site scripting flaw (CWE-79) in versions from n/a through 7.6.73. Input is not neutralized during web page generation, so an attacker can store script that runs when other users view the page. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.1 (HIGH), with user interaction required and a changed scope. Confidentiality, integrity and availability each have a low impact.
