Vulnerabilidad de neutralización incorrecta de la entrada durante la generación de páginas web (XSS o 'Cross-site Scripting') en Meks Meks Easy Ads Widget permite XSS almacenado. Este problema afecta a Meks Easy Ads Widget: desde n/a hasta 2.0.8.

The Meks Easy Ads Widget plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 2.0.8 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only impacts multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.
