What the vulnerability does
The AAWP Obfuscator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'data-aawp-web' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-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
AAWP Obfuscator versions 1.0 and earlier contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that allows authenticated users to inject malicious scripts. The vulnerability has scope change, meaning injected code can affect other users and site functionality. An attacker with low-level account access can craft malicious input that executes in other users' browsers, potentially stealing session data or performing unauthorized actions.
What an attacker can do
Inject JavaScript that runs in other users' browsers and affects site functionality.
Potential impact on your site
Authenticated users can inject malicious scripts affecting other users and site operations.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker needs a low-privilege account on the site; no user interaction required from victims.
