Description

The Display custom fields in the frontend – Post and User Profile Fields plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's shortcode and postmeta in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Affected products and versions

  • josevega Display custom fields in the frontend – Post and User Profile Fields — Up to and including 1.2.1
  • vegacorp display_custom_fields_in_the_frontend_-_post_and_user_profile_fields — Before 1.3.0
