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

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.
