MediumMetricsAV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
MyBB Cross-Poster WordPress plugin versions up to and including 1.0
Description:
The issue arises from insufficient input validation and sanitization via several parameters in the ~/classes/MyBBXPSettings.php file, allowing attackers with administrative user access to inject arbitrary web scripts. This affects multi-site installations where
unfiltered html is disabled for administrators, and sites where unfiltered html is disabled.Recommendations:
For versions up to and including 1.0, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input validation and sanitization issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the ~/classes/MyBBXPSettings.php file to minimize the risk of exploitation.
Restrict the use of parameters in the ~/classes/MyBBXPSettings.php file that are used for input validation and sanitization until a patch is available.
