Insight Core <= 1.0 - Authenticated PHP Object Injection & Stored Cross-Site Scripting

Missing Authorization
CVE CVE-2021-24950
CVSS Medium (5.4)
Publicly Published December 28, 2021
Last Updated January 22, 2024
Researcher Krzysztof Zając
Description

The Insight Core WordPress plugin through 1.0 does not have any authorisation and CSRF checks in the insight_customizer_options_import (available to any authenticated user), does not validate user input before passing it to unserialize(), nor sanitise and escape it before outputting it in the response. As a result, it could allow users with a role as low as Subscriber to perform PHP Object Injection, as well as Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks
