Discussion
WordPress Spider Catalog Plugin Multiple HTML Injection Vulnerabilities
The Spider Catalog plugin for WordPress is prone to multiple HTML injection vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.
Successful exploits will allow attacker-supplied HTML and script code to run in the context of the affected browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or control how the site is rendered to the user. Other attacks are also possible.
Spider Catalog 1.1 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
