Descriptions

Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in ThemeKraft Post Form – Registration Form – Profile Form for User Profiles and Content Forms for User Submissions plugin <= 2.7.5 versions.

The BuddyForms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 2.7.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
