WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

My Site Audit <= 1.2.4 - Authenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

Description

The plugin does not sanitise or escape the Audit Name field when creating an audit, allowing high privilege users to set JavaScript payloads in them, even when he unfiltered_html capability is disallowed, leading to an authenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting issue

Proof of Concept

Create an audit with the following payload in the Audit Name field: "><img src onerror=alert(/XSS/)>

Then view the 'All Audit' or 'Dashboard' (of the plugin) pages to trigger the XSS
