Descriptions

Auth. (admin+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in WPIndeed Debug Assistant plugin <= 1.4 versions.

The Debug Assistant for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in versions up to, and including, 1.4 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.

Auth. (admin+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in WPIndeed Debug Assistant plugin <= 1.4 versions.
