Descriptions

An issue was discovered in the wp-code-highlightjs plugin through 0.6.2 for WordPress. wp-admin/options-general.php?page=wp-code-highlight-js allows CSRF, as demonstrated by an XSS payload in the hljs_additional_css parameter.

Se detectó un problema en el plugin wp-code-highlightjs hasta versión 0.6.2 para WordPress. wp-admin/options-general.php?page=wp-code-highlight-js permite un vulnerabilidad de tipo CSRF, como es demostrado por una carga útil de tipo XSS en el parámetro hljs_additional_css.

The WP Code Highlight.js plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 0.6.2. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the hljs_settings_page() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious web scripts via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
