WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
WP Staging (Free < 3.4.0, Pro < 5.4.0) - 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
1. Go to "WP Staging > Backup & Migration" 2. Edit an existing backup's "Backup Name" field, setting it to: `123123" onmouseover='alert(1)'` 3. Save and see the XSS when reopening the edit screen
