Descriptions

The Mega Menu WordPress plugin before 3.0.8 does not sanitize and escape the _wpnonce parameter before outputting it back in an admin page, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting.

El plugin Mega Menu de WordPress versiones anteriores a 3.0.8, no sanea y escapa del parámetro _wpnonce antes de devolverlo a la página de administración, conllevando a un problema de tipo Cross-Site Scripting Reflejado

The Mega Menu plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘_wpnonce’ parameter in versions up to, and including, 3.0.7 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.
