WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
Float menu < 5.0.3 - Admin+ Stored Cross-Site Scripting
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 a new item in the plugin settings 2. Enter the payload `javascript:alert(/XSS/);` in the "Link" field 3. Go to the homepage, and click on the generated link to trigger the XSS
