Vulnerability Overview

The Google XML Sitemaps Generator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Code Injection in versions before 3.2.9 via the 'sm_cf_home' and 'sm_cf_posts' parameters. This allows authenticated attackers with admin-level privileges to inject code onto the server.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 3.2.9, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')) The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment.
