WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

WP Athletics <= 1.1.7 - Subscriber+ Stored Cross-Site Scripting

Description

The plugin does not sanitize parameters before storing them in the database, nor does it escape the values when outputting them back in the admin dashboard, leading to a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability.

Proof of Concept

- Log on to the site using a subscriber account.
- On the page the shortcode is rendered, click on "Why not add your own race result?"
- In the "Event Name" field, enter "><img src=x onerror=alert(1)// >, and fill in & submit the rest of the form.
- As an administrator, visit /wp-admin/admin.php?page=wp-athletics-manage-results
