VAR-201502-0264
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2023-12-18 13:34Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Google Doc Embedder plugin before 2.5.19 for WordPress allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the profile parameter in an edit action in the gde-settings page to wp-admin/options-general.php. The Google Doc Embedder plugin for WordPress is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability. Successful exploits will allow attacker-supplied HTML and script code to run in the context of the affected browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or control how the site is rendered to the user. Other attacks are also possible. Google Doc Embedder Plugin 2.5.18 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected. WordPress is a set of blogging platform developed by WordPress Software Foundation using PHP language, which supports setting up personal blogging websites on PHP and MySQL servers. Google Doc Embedder is one of the plugins that can embed MS Office, PDF and other file systems into web pages. The vulnerability stems from the fact that the wp-admin/options-general.php script does not sufficiently filter the 'profile' parameter in the gde-settings page
