Description

The Google Adsense & Banner Ads by AdsforWP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘adsforwp_profile_entry’ parameter in versions up to, and including, 1.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
