    CVE-2020-36769 (GCVE-0-2020-36769)

    Vulnerability from nvd – Published: 2023-12-23 09:36 – Updated: 2026-04-08 17:28
    VLAI
    Title
    Widget Settings Importer/Exporter Plugin <= 1.5.3 - Unauthorized Widget Import to Stored Cross-Site Scripting
    Summary
    The Widget Settings Importer/Exporter Plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the wp_ajax_import_widget_dataparameter AJAX action in versions up to, and including, 1.5.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with subscriber-level permissions and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
    Severity
    7.4 (High)
