WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
Age Gate < 2.16.4 - Authenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting
Description
The plugin does not sanitise and escape the 'Additional content' setting of its 'Messaging' page, which could allow users having access to such setting (by default admin, but the plugin has a feature to change this and allow access to lower privileged users) to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks
Proof of Concept
Put the following payload in the Messaging > Additional content setting of the plugin: </p><script>alert(123);</script><p>
