WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
Watu Quiz < 3.3.8.3 - Admin+ Stored XSS
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
Put the following payload in one of the 'Words used for "quiz/quizzes"' settings: "autofocus onfocus=alert(/XSS/)// Save (there will be an error), the XSS will be triggered when accessing the settings page again.
