Summary

The WP Carticon plugin for WordPress (all versions up to and including 1.0.0) is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'carticon_js_script' parameter due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. An authenticated attacker with administrator-level access can inject arbitrary web scripts.

Risk Assessment

Injected scripts will execute when a user accesses the injected page, potentially leading to session theft or other actions. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.

Recommendation

Update the WP Carticon plugin to a version newer than 1.0.0 that fixes the vulnerability.
