Summary
  • (es) El complemento WordPress Button Plugin MaxButtons WordPress anterior a la versión 9.8.1 no desinfecta ni escapa a algunas de sus configuraciones, lo que podría permitir que usuarios con privilegios elevados como el administrador realicen ataques de Cross-Site Scripting almacenado incluso cuando la capacidad unfiltered_html no está permitida (por ejemplo, en una configuración de varios sitios).
