Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
WP Meta SEO plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 4.5.12
Description
The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the
Referer header due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers to perform cross-site scripting (XSS).Recommendations
For WP Meta SEO plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 4.5.12, update to a version higher than 4.5.12 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the
Referer header to minimize the risk of exploitation. Additionally, ensure proper input sanitization and output escaping to prevent similar issues in the future.Fix
