La vulnerabilidad de neutralización inadecuada de la entrada durante la generación de páginas web ('cross-site Scripting') en Jeff Starr Dashboard Widgets Suite permite almacenar XSS. Este problema afecta a Dashboard Widgets Suite: desde n/a hasta 3.4.1.

The Dashboard Widgets Suite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in all versions up to, and including, 3.4.1 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.
