### Official description

The Frontend Admin by DynamiApps plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via submission forms in all versions up to, and including, 3.24.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the new Taxonomy form.

This is only exploitable when lower-level users have been granted access to submit specific forms, which is disabled by default.
