Descriptions

The WP Attachments WordPress plugin before 5.0.5 does not sanitize and escapes 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 complemento de WordPress WP Attachments anterior a 5.0.5 no sanitiza y escapa a algunas de sus configuraciones, lo que podría permitir a usuarios con altos privilegios, como el administrador, realizar ataques de Cross-Site Scripting almacenados incluso cuando la capacidad unfiltered_html no está permitida (por ejemplo, en multisitio). configuración).

The WP Attachments plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘attachment’ parameter in versions up to, and including, 5.0.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
