Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
VK All in One Expansion Unit plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 9.96.0.1
Description
The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the child page index widget due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes such as
className. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.Recommendations
For versions up to, and including, 9.96.0.1, update to a version that includes the necessary input sanitization and output escaping fixes to prevent Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the child page index widget for users with contributor-level and above permissions until a patch is available. Additionally, restrict the use of user-supplied attributes such as
className to minimize the risk of exploitation.Fix
