Descriptions

The Simple File List WordPress plugin before 4.4.12 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, 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 Simple File List de WordPress versiones anteriores a 4.4.12, no sanea y escapa de algunas de sus configuraciones, 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 Simple File List plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'tab' and 'subtab' parameters in versions up to, and including, 4.4.11 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.
