Descriptions

The Name Directory WordPress plugin before 1.25.3 does not sanitise and escape a parameter before outputting it back in the page, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting. Furthermore, as the payload is also saved into the database after the request, it leads to a Stored XSS as well

El plugin Name Directory de WordPress versiones anteriores a 1.25.3 no sanea y escapa de un parámetro antes de devolverlo a la página, conllevando a un ataque de tipo Cross-Site Scripting Reflejado. Además, como la carga útil también es guardada en la base de datos después de la petición, también conlleva a un ataque de tipo XSS Almacenado

The Name Directory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘name’ parameter in versions up to, and including, 1.25.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for 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.
