WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
Popup box < 3.8.6 - Admin+ Stored XSS in Categories
Description
The plugin does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup)
Proof of Concept
1. Go to "Popup Box > Categories" 2. Add a new category and in the description field add `<script>alert(1)</script>` 3. Save and see the XSS
