Descriptions

The Generate PDF WordPress plugin before 3.6 does not sanitise and escape its settings, allowing high privilege users such as admin to perform cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed.

El plugin Generate PDF de WordPress versiones anteriores a 3.6, no sanea ni escapa de su configuración, lo que permite a usuarios con altos privilegios, como el administrador, llevar a cabo ataques de tipo Cross-Site Scripting incluso cuando la capacidad unfiltered_html está deshabilitada.

The Generate PDF using Contact Form 7 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via several of its settings parameters in versions up to, and including, 3.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with adminstrator-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
