Summary
The MC4WP: Mailchimp for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the form response message post meta fields (e.g., 'text_subscribed', 'text_error') in all versions up to, and including, 4.12.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.
