Status: AnalyzedMedium (4.8)—

The WP STAGING WordPress Backup Plugin WordPress plugin before 3.4.0, wp-staging-pro WordPress plugin before 5.4.0 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup)
