Descriptions

The Top 10 WordPress plugin before 3.2.3 does not validate and escape some of its Block attributes before outputting them back in the page, which could allow users with a role as low as contributor to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks which could be used against high privilege users such as admins.

El complemento Top 10 de WordPress anterior a 3.2.3 no valida ni escapa algunos de sus atributos de bloque antes de devolverlos a la página, lo que podría permitir a los usuarios con un rol tan bajo como colaborador realizar ataques de cross-site scripting almacenado que podrían usarse contra usuarios con privilegios elevados, como administradores.

The Top 10 – Popular posts plugin for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's blocks in versions up to, and including, 3.2.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page
