La vulnerabilidad de neutralización inadecuada de la entrada durante la generación de páginas web ('cross-site Scripting') en Fahad Mahmood RSS Feed Widget permite almacenar XSS. Este problema afecta al widget de fuente RSS: desde n/a hasta 2.9.7.

The RSS Feed Widget plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in all versions up to, and including, 2.9.7 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.
