What the vulnerability does
The WP Content Permission plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'ohmem-message' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output 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.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
WP Content Permission versions 1.2 and earlier contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. An attacker with high-level privileges can inject malicious scripts that execute in other administrators' browsers, potentially compromising site security. The vulnerability requires high attack complexity and affects the scope beyond the vulnerable component.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious scripts that run in other administrators' browsers.
Potential impact on your site
Administrators may have their sessions compromised or malicious actions performed on their behalf.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker must have high-level site privileges (e.g., administrator role).
