FKIE_CVE-2025-15486

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-01-14 06:15 - Updated: 2026-04-15 00:35
Severity ?
4.4 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
Summary
The Kunze Law plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via plugin's shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 2.1 due to the plugin fetching HTML content from a remote server and injecting it into pages without any sanitization or escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled. Additional presence of a path traversal vulnerability in the shortcode name allows writing malicious HTML files to arbitrary writable locations on the server.

      "value": "El plugin Kunze Law para WordPress es vulnerable a Cross-Site Scripting Almacenado a trav\u00e9s del shortcode del plugin en todas las versiones hasta la 2.1, inclusive, debido a que el plugin obtiene contenido HTML de un servidor remoto y lo inyecta en las p\u00e1ginas sin ninguna sanitizaci\u00f3n o escape. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel de Administrador y superior, inyecten scripts web arbitrarios en p\u00e1ginas que se ejecutar\u00e1n cada vez que un usuario acceda a una p\u00e1gina inyectada. Esto solo afecta a instalaciones multisitio y a instalaciones donde unfiltered_html ha sido deshabilitado.\nLa presencia adicional de una vulnerabilidad de salto de ruta en el nombre del shortcode permite escribir archivos HTML maliciosos en ubicaciones arbitrarias con permisos de escritura en el servidor."
