WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
Staff / Employee Business Directory for Active Directory < 1.2.3 - Improper escaping of LDAP entries
Description
The plugin does not sanitize and escape data returned from the LDAP server before rendering it in the page, allowing users who can control their entries in the LDAP directory to inject malicious javascript which could be used against high-privilege users such as a site admin.
Proof of Concept
Add a rogue record to a user on the LDAP server, something like: dn: cn=xssman,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com objectClass: inetOrgPerson uuid: xssman givenName: XSS man description: XSS man <img src/onerror=alert(4)> In the page with the [miniorange_ldap_directory_search] shortcode, click search or search specifically for xssman to trigger the payload.
