Descriptions

The Newspaper theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via attachment meta in the archive page in all versions up to, and including, 12.6.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

El tema Newspaper para WordPress es vulnerable a Cross-Site Scripting Almacenado a través de metadatos adjuntos en la página de archivo en todas las versiones hasta la 12.6.5 incluida debido a una sanitización de entrada insuficiente y a un escape de salida en los atributos proporcionados por el usuario. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso a nivel de autor y superior, inyecten scripts web arbitrarios en páginas que se ejecutarán cada vez que un usuario acceda a una página inyectada.
