WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
Survey Maker < 4.2.9 - Admin+ Stored XSS via Plugin Settings
Description
The plugin does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup)
Proof of Concept
1. Add New Survey 2. Choose any Templates 3. Go to General Settings 4. Insert the XSS payload into the fields where the question is asked: "><script></script><img src=x onerror=alert(document.cookie)> 5. As a result, when you go to the site, the questionnaire in which XSS works will be displayed
