WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Popup Box Pro < 20.9.0 - Admin+ Stored XSS

Description

The plugin does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when unfiltered_html is disallowed

Proof of Concept

Create/edit a new popup and add the following payload in the Custom Content: <script>alert(1);</script>

Save, and notice the alert box appearing when visiting the blog

Affects Plugins

Fixed in 20.9.0
