Cross-Site Scripting in Atahualpa WordPress Theme
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Spyros Gasteratos, July 2016

Abstract
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A number of Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities were found in the
Atahualpa WordPress Theme. This issue allows an attacker to perform a
wide variety of actions, such as stealing Administrators' session
tokens, or performing arbitrary actions on their behalf. In order to
exploit this issue, the attacker has to use the CSRF vulnerability
described in SFY20160759 to trick the admin into storing malicious
input.

Providing any of the following fields with string such as: "><script>alert(1);</script> results in the script element getting appended after the respective input element when the request returns from the server:
"comment_feed_link",
"home_cat_menu_bar",
"email_subscribe_link",
"home_single_next_prev",
"email_subscribe_link_title",
"feedburner_email_id",
"excerpt_length",
"page_menu_bar_link_color",
"cat_menu_bar_background_color_parent",
"cat_menu_bar_link_color",
"left_col_pages_exclude",
"widget_lists link-hover-color",
"left_col2_cats_exclude"
The solution to this issue is to encode as html all the user-provided parameters before they are returned to the browser.
Proof of concept
In order to reproduce the issue the following request can be replayed using the cookies of the current admin.
