WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

WP Inventory Manager < 2.1.0.12 - Reflected XSS

Description

The plugin does not sanitise and escape the message parameter before outputting it back in the page, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting which could be used against high privilege users such as administrators.

Proof of Concept

On a page where the [wpinventory] shortcode is embed, append the following payload: message=<script>alert(/XSS/)</script>

For example: https://example.com/inventory?message=<script>alert(/XSS/)</script>

Affects Plugins

Fixed in 2.1.0.12
