Vulnerability Overview

The Polls CP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to content injection in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.71. This is due to insufficient validation on poll answers. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary content.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.0.72, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-74 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection')) The product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component.
