The Comments – wpDiscuz WordPress plugin through 7.3.0 does not properly sanitise or escape the Follow and Unfollow messages before outputting them in the page, which could allow high privilege users to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed.
