The Business Directory Plugin – Easy Listing Directories for WordPress WordPress plugin before 5.11 suffered from a Cross-Site Request Forgery issue, allowing an attacker to make a logged in administrator import files. As the plugin also did not validate uploaded files, it could lead to RCE.
The OpenID Connect Generic Client WordPress plugin 3.8.0 and 3.8.1 did not sanitise the login error when output back in the login form, leading to a reflected Cross-Site Scripting issue. This issue does not require authentication and can be exploited with the default configuration.
The Imagements WordPress plugin through 1.2.5 allows images to be uploaded in comments, however only checks for the Content-Type in the request to forbid dangerous files. This allows unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files by using a valid image Content-Type along with a PHP filename and code, leading to RCE.
An AJAX action registered by the WPBakery Page Builder (Visual Composer) Clipboard WordPress plugin before 4.5.6 did not have capability checks nor sanitization, allowing low privilege users (subscriber+) to call it and set XSS payloads, which will be triggered in all backend pages.
An AJAX action registered by the WPBakery Page Builder (Visual Composer) Clipboard WordPress plugin before 4.5.8 did not have capability checks, allowing low privilege users, such as subscribers, to update the license options (key, email).
The Stop Spammers WordPress plugin before 2021.9 did not escape user input when blocking requests (such as matching a spam word), outputting it in an attribute after sanitising it to remove HTML tags, which is not sufficient and lead to a reflected Cross-Site Scripting issue.
The Workscout Core WordPress plugin before 1.3.4, used by the WorkScout Theme did not sanitise the chat messages sent via the workscout_send_message_chat AJAX action, leading to Stored Cross-Site Scripting and Cross-Frame Scripting issues
The Contact Form Check Tester WordPress plugin through 1.0.2 settings are visible to all registered users in the dashboard and are lacking any sanitisation. As a result, any registered user, such as subscriber, can leave an XSS payload in the plugin settings, which will be triggered by any user visiting them, and could allow for privilege escalation. The vendor decided to close the plugin.
