Descriptions

The Dropdown Menu Widget WordPress plugin through 1.9.7 does not have authorisation and CSRF checks when saving its settings, allowing low privilege users such as subscriber to update them. Due to the lack of sanitisation and escaping, it could also lead to Stored Cross-Site Scripting issues

El plugin Dropdown Menu Widget de WordPress versiones hasta 1.9.7, no cuenta con comprobaciones de autorización y CSRF cuando guarda su configuración, permitiendo a usuarios con pocos privilegios, como el suscriptor, actualizarla. Debido a una falta de saneo y escape, también podría conllevar a problemas de tipo Cross-Site Scripting Almacenado
