WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

WP DS Blog Map <= 3.1.3 - Admin+ Stored Cross-Site Scripting

Description

The plugin does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup)

Proof of Concept

Put the following payload in any of the settings accepting a string (ie "This string in the page content will be replaced by the tag cloud", "Category prefix" etc): "><svg/onload=alert(/XSS/)>

Affects Plugins
