Descriptions

Auth. (admin+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in Fatcat Apps Analytics Cat plugin <= 1.0.9 on WordPress.

Una vulnerabilidad de tipo Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Autenticada Almacenada (admin+) en el plugin Fatcat Apps Analytics Cat versiones anteriores a 1.0.9 incluyéndola, en WordPress

The Analytics Cat – Google Analytics Made Easy plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's settings parameter in versions up to, and including, 1.0.9 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the fca_ga_input() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with administrative-level permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.
