WP-Optimize <= 3.2.12 & SrbTransLatin <= 2.4 - Stored/Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via Third Party Library

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
CVE CVE-2023-1119

Publicly Published July 4, 2023

Researcher Paolo Elia
Description

The WP-Optimize plugin and SrbTransLatin plugin for WordPress are vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting via the 's' parameter in WP-Optimize in versions up to 3.2.12 and via post content in SrbTransLatin in versions up to, and including, 2.4 due to a third party library that strips some escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
