Descriptions

The Arigato Autoresponder and Newsletter WordPress plugin before 2.1.7.2 does not sanitize and escape some of its settings, which could allow high-privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed.

The Arigato Autoresponder and Newsletter plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘$user->email’ parameter in versions up to, and including, 2.1.7.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with admin level access to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
