WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Sitemap < 4.4 - Contributor+ Stored XSS

Description

The plugin does not validate and escape some of its shortcode attributes before outputting them back in the page, which could allow users with a role as low as contributor to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks which could be used against high privilege users such as admins.

Proof of Concept

[pagelist class='" onmouseover="alert(1)"']
