Descriptions

Auth. Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in GD bbPress Attachments plugin <= 4.3.1 on WordPress.

Vulnerabilidad de Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Almacenado, autenticada en el complemento GD bbPress Attachments en versiones &lt;= 4.3.1 en WordPress.

The GD bbPress Attachments plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via several parameters in versions up to, and including, 4.3.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level permissions and above, 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.
