CVE-2022-1009
The Smush WordPress plugin before 3.9.9 does not sanitise and escape a configuration parameter before outputting it back in an admin page when uploading a malicious preset configuration, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.79%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
