# Typing Text WordPress plugin: stored XSS through versions 2.2.0

The Typing Text WordPress plugin by bPlugins does not neutralize input before generating web pages, which allows stored cross-site scripting. An attacker who can store content in the plugin can run scripts in the browser of visitors or administrators who view that content.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check whether the WordPress site has the plugin 'Typing Text – Give your texts many typing effects' installed and its version (WordPress admin > Plugins).
- Look for the plugin's version in `wp-content/plugins/` (the plugin readme or main file header).

## Fix

- Update the 'Typing Text' plugin to a version newer than `2.2.0`, if a fixed release is published; the sources do not name the fixed version.
- Until a fix is installed, deactivate the plugin if it is not essential.
