CVE-2021-24812
The BetterLinks plugin in versions earlier than 1.2.6 fails to properly sanitize and escape certain fields during CSV import operations, allowing administrators who import a specially crafted CSV file to unknowingly introduce stored cross-site scripting vulnerabilities into their site. An attacker could craft a malicious CSV containing executable scripts in link fields that would be stored and executed when accessed by site users or administrators.
