WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Authorsy – Author Box, Multiple Authors, Guest Authors & Post Rating < 1.0.6 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting

Description

The Authorsy – Author Box, Multiple Authors, Guest Authors & Post Rating plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
