Descriptions

The Simple:Press plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'postitem' parameter manipulated during the profile-save action when modifying a profile signature in versions up to, and including, 6.8 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping that makes injecting object and embed tags possible. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with minimal permissions, such as a subscriber to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages when modifying a profile signature that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

El complemento Simple:Press para WordPress es vulnerable a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Almacenado a través del parámetro 'postitem' manipulado durante la acción de guardar el perfil al modificar una firma de perfil en versiones hasta la 6.8 incluida debido a una sanitización de entrada y un escape de salida insuficientes que hace posible inyectar objetos e incrustar etiquetas. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con permisos mínimos, como un suscriptor, inyecten scripts web arbitrarios en páginas al modificar una firma de perfil que se ejecutará cada vez que un usuario acceda a una página inyectada.
