Descriptions

The WP Inventory Manager WordPress plugin before 2.1.0.12 does not sanitise and escape the message parameter before outputting it back in the page, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting which could be used against high privilege users such as administrators.

The WP Inventory Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘message’ parameter in versions up to, and including, 2.1.0.11 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.
