Descriptions

The Starbox WordPress plugin before 3.5.0 does not sanitise and escape some parameters, which could allow users with a role as low as Contributor to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks

El complemento Starbox de WordPress anterior a 3.5.0 no sanitiza ni escapa a algunos parámetros, lo que podría permitir a usuarios con un rol tan bajo como Colaborador realizar ataques de cross-site scripting

The Starbox – the Author Box for Humans plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to, and including, 3.4.9 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
