Descriptions

The WP Total Hacks WordPress plugin through 4.7.2 does not prevent low privilege users from modifying the plugin's settings. This could allow users such as subscribers to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks against other users, like administrators, due to the lack of sanitisation and escaping as well.

El complemento de WordPress WP Total Hacks hasta 4.7.2 no impide que los usuarios con privilegios bajos modifiquen la configuración del complemento. Esto podría permitir a usuarios como suscriptores realizar ataques de Stored Cross-Site Scripting contra otros usuarios, como administradores, debido a la falta de sanitización y también de escape.

The WP Total Hacks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to stored Plugin Options Update and Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 4.7.2 This allows authenticated attackers with subscriber-level permissions the ability to embed JavaScript which will be executed in the browser of anyone who logs into the admin area, even if unfiltered_html is disallowed.
