What the vulnerability does
The AzonPost plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the `editpos_hidden` parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.3. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick an administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
AzonPost versions 1.3 and earlier contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages. The vulnerability requires user interaction—victims must visit a crafted link or page. When exploited, the injected code can affect other users and compromise their sessions or data. Update to a version newer than 1.3.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious JavaScript that runs in other users' browsers and steals their session data or credentials.
Potential impact on your site
Site visitors can be redirected, have their sessions hijacked, or have malware injected into pages they view.
Conditions required to exploit
No authentication required. Victim must click a malicious link or visit an attacker-controlled page.
