DESCRIPTION:
High-Tech Bridge SA has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in the
Pretty Link plugin for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious
people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
1) Input passed via the "min_date" parameter to
wp-content/plugins/pretty-link/classes/views/prli-clicks/head.php,
the "message" parameter to
wp-content/plugins/pretty-link/classes/views/prli-dashboard-widget/widget.php,
the "errors[]" parameter to
wp-content/plugins/pretty-link/classes/views/shared/errors.php, and
the "page_first_record", "page_last_record", "record_count",
"controller_file", and "page_params" parameters to
wp-content/plugins/pretty-link/classes/views/shared/table-nav.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 various parameters to
wp-content/plugins/pretty-link/classes/views/prli-links/form.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.
Examples:
http://[host]/wp-content/plugins/pretty-link/classes/views/prli-links/form.php?prli_blogurl=[script]
http://[host]/wp-content/plugins/pretty-link/classes/views/prli-links/form.php?values[slug]=[script]
http://[host]/wp-content/plugins/pretty-link/classes/views/prli-links/form.php?values[redirect_type][307]=[script]
Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.4.56. Other versions
may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
