DESCRIPTION:
High-Tech Bridge SA has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in the
WP-Stats-Dashboard plugin for WordPress, which can be exploited by
malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
1) Input passed via the "icon", "url", "name", "type", "code", and
"username" parameters to
wp-content/plugins/wp-stats-dashboard/view/admin/admin_profile_type.php
is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can
be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site.
2) Input passed via the "submenu" and "url" parameters to
wp-content/plugins/wp-stats-dashboard/view/admin/blocks/submenu.php
is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can
be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site.
Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.6.5.1. Prior versions
may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.6.6.1.
