Descriptions

The Widget or Sidebar Shortcode plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'sidebar' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 0.6.1 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 Widget or Sidebar Shortcode para WordPress es vulnerable a la ejecución de Cross Site Scripting almacenado a través del código abreviado de la "barra lateral" del complemento en todas las versiones hasta la 0.6.1 incluida, debido a una desinfección de entrada y un escape de salida insuficiente en los atributos proporcionados por el usuario. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel de colaborador y superior, inyecten scripts web arbitrarios en páginas que se ejecutarán siempre que un usuario acceda a una página inyectada.
