Descriptions

Auth. (admin+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Proper Fraction LLC. Admin Bar & Dashboard Access Control plugin <= 1.2.8 versions.

Vulnerabilidad de Coss-Site Scripting (XSS) autenticada (con permisos de admin o superiores) almacenada en el complemento Proper Fraction LLC. Admin Bar &amp; Dashboard Access Control en versiones &lt;= 1.2.8.

The Admin Bar & Dashboard Access Control plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in all versions up to 1.2.9 (exclusive) 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.

WordPress Admin Bar and Dashboard Access Control plugin version 1.28 suffers from a persistent cross site scripting vulnerability.
