Descriptions

The Free Responsive Testimonials, Social Proof Reviews, and Customer Reviews – Stars Testimonials plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's stars_testimonials shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.1 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.

El complemento Free Responsive Testimonials, Social Proof Reviews, and Customer Reviews – Stars Testimonials de WordPress es vulnerable a Cross-Site Scripting Almacenado a través del código abreviado stars_testimonials del complemento en todas las versiones hasta la 3.3.1 incluida, debido a una desinfección de entrada insuficiente y al escape de salida en los atributos proporcionados por el usuario. Esto permite que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel de colaborador y superior, inyecten secuencias de comandos web arbitrarias en páginas que se ejecutarán siempre que un usuario acceda a una página inyectada.
