Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.60%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

The Comments – wpDiscuz plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to HTML Injection in all versions up to, and including, 7.6.21. This is due to a lack of filtering of HTML tags in comments. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to add HTML such as hyperlinks to comments when rich editing is disabled.
