WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
Profile Builder < 3.6.8 - Admin+ Stored Cross-Site Scripting
Description
The plugin does not sanitise and escape Form Fields titles and description, which could allow high privilege user such as admin to perform Criss-Site Scripting attacks even when unfiltered_html is disallowed
Proof of Concept
Put the following payload in a field Title or Description (via wp-admin/admin.php?page=manage-fields): <img src onerror=alert(/XSS/)> The XSS will be triggered in pages using the related field. For example by editing the Name field, XSS will be triggered in Edit Profile and Register page of the plugin
