Vulnerability Overview

The Ultimate Addons for WPBakery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the tab parameter in versions up to, and including 3.16.11 via the update_ultimate_options AJAX action and ultimate_smooth_scroll_options[step] parameter. This makes it possible for low-level authenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in administrative pages that execute whenever a user accesses the page with the stored web scripts.
