Descriptions

Reflected XSS in wordpress plugin forget-about-shortcode-buttons v1.1.1

XSS reflejado en el plugin de wordpress forget-about-shortcode-buttons v1.1.1

The Forget About Shortcode Buttons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘ajax_url’ variable in versions up to, and including, 1.1.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
