Descriptions

The LiteSpeed Cache plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via plugin debug settings in all versions up to, and including, 6.4.1 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.

El complemento LiteSpeed ??Cache para WordPress es vulnerable a Cross-Site Scripting almacenado a través de la configuración de depuración del complemento en todas las versiones hasta la 6.4.1 incluida, debido a una desinfección de entrada y un escape de salida insuficientes. Esto permite que atacantes autenticados, con permisos de nivel de administrador o superior, inyecten secuencias de comandos web arbitrarias en páginas que se ejecutarán cada vez que un usuario acceda a una página inyectada. Esto solo afecta a instalaciones multisitio e instalaciones en las que se ha deshabilitado unfiltered_html.
