Descriptions

The FancyBox for WordPress plugin before 3.0.3 for WordPress does not properly restrict access, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via an mfbfw[*] parameter in an update action to wp-admin/admin-post.php, as demonstrated by the mfbfw[padding] parameter and exploited in the wild in February 2015.

El plugin FancyBox for WordPress en versiones anteriores a 3.0.3 para WordPress no restringe adecuadamente el acceso, lo que permite a atacantes remotos llevar a cabo ataques de secuencias de comandos en sitios cruzados (XSS) a través de un parámetro mfbfw[*] en una acción de actualización para wp-admin/admin-post.php, según lo demostrado por el parámetro mfbfw[padding] y explotado activamente en Febrero 2015.
