Vulnerabilidad de Control de Acceso Roto que conduce a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Almacenado en el complemento Traffic Manager en WordPress en versiones &lt;= 1.4.5.

The Traffic Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to a missing capability check in versions up to, and including, 1.4.5. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
