Flat Preloader < 1.5.4 - CSRF to Stored Cross-Site Scripting
Publisher and source text is retained separately from QFinch interpretation.
QFinch assessment
The Flat Preloader WordPress plugin before 1.5.4 does not enforce nonce checks when saving its settings, as well as does not sanitise and escape them, which could allow attackers to a make logged in admin change them with a Cross-Site Scripting payload (triggered either in the frontend or backend depending on the payload)
