Message-ID: <e0f36e053b4ba333733d7e70e60092a6@security.dxw.com> Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2015 15:14:55 +0000 From: dxw Security <security@....com> To: fulldisclosure@...lists.org Subject: [FD] Stored XSS in Plotly allows less privileged users to insert arbitrary JavaScript into posts (WordPress plugin) Details ================ Software: Plotly Version: 1.0.2 Homepage: http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-plotly/ Advisory report: https://security.dxw.com/advisories/stored-xss-in-plotly-allows-less-privileged-users-to-insert-arbitrary-javascript-into-posts/ CVE: CVE-2015-5484 CVSS: 6.5 (Medium; AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:P) Description ================ Stored XSS in Plotly allows less privileged users to insert arbitrary JavaScript into posts Vulnerability ================ This plugin allows users who do not have the unfiltered_html capability to insert JavaScript into posts/pages which gets executed by the browsers of other users. On single sites, only Administrators have the unfiltered_html capability, and on multisite, only Super Admins have this capability. This means that e.g. malicious Admins on a multisite, or malicious Editors would be able to perform XSS attacks against other site users and visitors. Proof of concept ================ Create a new post as a user (without the unfiltered_html capability) Switch to text mode Place this link on a line by itself: https://plot.ly/~a/’onerror=’alert(1)’> View the post Mitigations ================ Upgrade to version 1.0.3 or later. N.B. If all accounts are trusted, or all accounts have the unfiltered_html capability, then there is no issue. Disclosure policy ================ dxw believes in responsible disclosure.
