Description

The SMTP2GO plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘[function_or_param]’ parameter in versions up to, and including, 1.4.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with administrator-level access, and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only impacts multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.
