Descriptions

The WP Meta and Date Remover WordPress plugin before 2.2.0 provides an AJAX endpoint for configuring the plugin settings. This endpoint has no capability checks and does not sanitize the user input, which is then later output unescaped. Allowing any authenticated users, such as subscriber change them and perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting.

El complemento WP Meta and Date Remover de WordPress anterior a 2.2.0 proporciona un endpoint AJAX para configurar los ajustes del complemento. Este endpoint no tiene comprobaciones de capacidad y no sanitiza la entrada del usuario, que luego se genera sin escape. Permitir que cualquier usuario autenticado, como el suscriptor, los cambie y realice Cross-Site Scripting almacenado.

The WP Meta and Date Remover plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via settings in all versions up to 2.2.0 (exclusive) due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with subscriber level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
