CVE-2022-3829 describes a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Font Awesome 4 Menus WordPress plugin, affecting versions up to 4.7.0. The flaw stems from insufficient sanitization and escaping of plugin settings. This allows high-privilege users, such as administrators, to inject malicious scripts even in environments where unfiltered_html is restricted, like multisite setups. The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 score of 4.8 (Medium), indicating a network-based attack requiring high privileges and user interaction, with potential for low impact on confidentiality and integrity. Despite its medium severity, the EPSS score is very low, suggesting a minimal likelihood of exploitation. Currently, there is no evidence of active exploitation, and no public exploit code is available on platforms like Metasploit or ExploitDB. The vulnerability has garnered no community discussion or media coverage, indicating a low level of public attention.
