Descriptions

The Ad Injection WordPress plugin through 1.2.0.19 does not properly sanitize the body of the adverts injected into the pages, allowing a high privileged user (Admin+) to inject arbitrary HTML or javascript even with unfiltered_html disallowed, leading to a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. Further it is also possible to inject PHP code, leading to a Remote Code execution (RCE) vulnerability, even if the DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT and DISALLOW_FILE_MOD constants are both set.

El plugin Ad Injection de WordPress versiones hasta 1.2.0.19, no sanea correctamente el cuerpo de los anuncios inyectados en las páginas, lo que permite a un usuario con altos privilegios (Admin+) inyectar HTML o javascript arbitrario incluso con unfiltered_html deshabilitado, conllevando a una vulnerabilidad de tipo Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) almacenada. Además, también es posible inyectar código PHP, conllevando a una vulnerabilidad de ejecución de código remota (RCE), incluso si las constantes DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT y DISALLOW_FILE_MOD están establecidas
