Vulnerability Overview

The WooSidebars Sidebar Manager Converter plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via a URL parameter in versions up to, and including, 1.1.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping and the use of add_query_arg. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link. Please note that the CVE has this recorded as an Open Redirect, however, this patch is related to Cross-Site Scripting.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.1.2, 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.
