Descriptions

The Cloud Manager WordPress plugin through 1.0 does not sanitise and escape the query param ricerca before outputting it in an admin panel, allowing unauthenticated attackers to trick a logged in admin to trigger a XSS payload by clicking a link.

The Cloud Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘ricerca’ parameter in versions up to, and including, 1.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers 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.
