Descriptions

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in fs-admin/fs-admin.php in the ForumPress WP Forum Server plugin before 1.7.4 for WordPress allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) groupid parameter in an editgroup action or (2) usergroup_id parameter in an edit_usergroup action.

Múltiples vulnerabilidades cross-site scripting (XSS) en fs-admin/fs-admin.php en el plugin ForumPress WP Forum Server anteriores a 1.7.4 para WordPress permite a atacantes remotos inyectar script web o HTML de forma arbitraria a través de (1) el parámetro groupip en una acción de editgroup o (2) el parámetro usergroup_id en una acción edit_usergroup.

The WP Forum Server plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the (1) groupid parameter in an editgroup action or (2) usergroup_id parameter in an edit_usergroup action in versions up to, and including, 1.7.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with administrative capabilities to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This can also be exploited via CSRF by unauthenticated users due to missing nonce validation.
