What the vulnerability does
The Inactive Logout plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'ina_redirect_page_individual_user' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
Inactive Logout versions 3.5.5 and earlier contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that allows authenticated users to inject malicious scripts. The vulnerability has a changed scope, meaning the impact can extend beyond the vulnerable component itself. An attacker with low privileges can exploit this without user interaction to compromise site integrity and read sensitive data.
What an attacker can do
Inject and execute malicious JavaScript in the site, affecting other users and potentially stealing data.
Potential impact on your site
Authenticated users can inject scripts that compromise other users' sessions, steal credentials, or deface content.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker must have a low-privilege user account on the site; no user interaction required.
