Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedAuthenticated (contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Fullworks Meet My Team plugin <= 2.0.5 at WordPress.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceAuthenticated contributor+ users can inject malicious JavaScript via the Meet My Team plugin's input fields, which is stored in the database and executes when other users view the team page. This is a stored XSS vulnerability stemming from insufficient input sanitization and output encoding in the plugin.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify Meet My Team plugin is installedNavigate to WordPress admin > Plugins and look for 'Meet My Team' by Fullworksplugins, or check the /wp-content/plugins/ directory for a meet-my-team folderAffected if The plugin is installed and active in WordPress

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpdate the Fullworks Meet My Team plugin to a version beyond 2.0.5, which should include proper input validation and output escaping. If no update is available, implement sanitization functions like wp_kses() and esc_html() on user-supplied data before storage and display.
