Who should care
Administrators of WordPress installations using the White Label CMS plugin, especially those with multi-site setups or where unfiltered_html is disabled, should assess and mitigate this vulnerability.
Technical summary
The White Label CMS plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings. This occurs because the plugin does not properly sanitize input or escape output. An attacker with administrator-level permissions can inject malicious scripts that will be executed when a user views an affected page. This vulnerability is particularly relevant for multi-site installations and those with unfiltered_html disabled.
Defensive priority
Medium priority due to the requirement for administrator-level access and specific configuration (multi-site or unfiltered_html disabled).
Recommended defensive actions
- Update the White Label CMS plugin to a version beyond 2.7.12 if available.
- Restrict administrator-level permissions to trusted users.
- Monitor for suspicious admin activity and injected scripts.
- Consider disabling unfiltered_html if not required.
- Regularly review and update plugins and themes.
