Vulnerability Overview

The WP Directory Kit plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to HTML Injection in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.6. This is due to improper sanitization and escaping on a value. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to inject HTML in a field they should not be able to .

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.3.7, 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.
