Descriptions

The Top Bar WordPress plugin before 3.0.4 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings before outputting them in frontend pages, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup)

El plugin Top Bar de WordPress versiones anteriores a 3.0.4, no sanea y escapa de algunas de sus configuraciones antes de mostrarlas en las páginas del frontend, lo que podría permitir a usuarios con altos privilegios, como el administrador, llevar a cabo ataques de tipo Cross-Site Scripting Almacenado incluso cuando la capacidad unfiltered_html no está permitida (por ejemplo, en una configuración multisitio)

The Top Bar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the tpbr_message,tpbr_btn_text,tpbr_btn_url, and tpbr_color parameters. This allows authenticated users with administrator-level permissions 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.
