Vulnerability Overview

The CM Ad Changer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Banner Title field in versions up to, and including, 1.7.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page, granted they can trick a site's administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.7.8, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)) The web application does not, or cannot, sufficiently verify whether a request was intentionally provided by the user who sent the request, which could have originated from an unauthorized actor.
