Vulnerability Overview

The WP-Optimize plugin and SrbTransLatin plugin for WordPress are vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting via the 's' parameter in WP-Optimize in versions up to 3.2.12 and via post content in SrbTransLatin in versions up to, and including, 2.4 due to a third party library that strips some 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.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 2.4.1, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')) The product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users.
