Descriptions

The MonsterInsights WordPress plugin before 8.9.1 does not sanitize or escape page titles in the top posts/pages section, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to inject arbitrary web scripts into the titles by spoofing requests to google analytics.

El complemento MonsterInsights de WordPress anterior a 8.9.1 no sanitiza ni escapa los títulos de las páginas en la sección de publicaciones/páginas principales, lo que permite a un atacante no autenticado inyectar scripts en los títulos falsificando solicitudes a Google Analytics.

The MonsterInsights plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via post titles and pages in versions up to, and including, 8.9.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on those values. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page if they are able to successfully spoof a request to Google Analytics.
