WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Widget Options – The #1 WordPress Widget & Block Control Plugin < 4.1.3 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting

Description

The Widget Options – The #1 WordPress Widget & Block Control Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via multiple functions in all versions up to, and including, 4.1.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
