WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

WP-UserOnline < 2.88.1 - Admin+ Stored Cross-Site Scripting

Description

The plugin does not sanitise or escape some of its settings before outputting them in the admins dashboard, allowing high privilege users to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks against other users even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed.

Proof of Concept

Put the following payload into any fields of Naming Conventions section "/><img src onerror=alert(/XSS/)> and save changes

The XSS will be trigged in the Dashboard > WP-UserOnline page

Affects Plugins
