Descriptions

The Advanced WordPress Reset WordPress plugin before 1.6 does not escape some generated URLs before outputting them back in href attributes of admin dashboard pages, leading to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting

El plugin Advanced WordPress Reset de WordPress versiones anteriores a 1.6, no escapa a algunas URLs generadas antes de devolverlas en los atributos href de las páginas del panel de control del administrador, conllevando a un ataque de tipo Cross-Site Scripting Reflejado

The Advanced WordPress Reset plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘DBR_new_URI’ parameter in versions up to, and including, 1.5 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.
