Descriptions

The Himer WordPress theme before 2.1.1 does not sanitise and escape some of its Post settings, which could allow high privilege users such as Contributor to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks

El tema Himer WordPress anterior a 2.1.1 no sanitiza ni escapa a algunas de sus configuraciones de publicación, lo que podría permitir a usuarios con altos privilegios, como Contributor, realizar ataques de Cross-Site Scripting Almacenado.

The Himer theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'Custom CSS code' setting in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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.
