The tarteaucitron-wp WordPress plugin before 0.3.0 does not have CSRF check in some places, and is missing sanitisation as well as escaping, which could allow attackers to make logged in admin add Stored XSS payloads via a CSRF attack.
The tarteaucitron-wp WordPress plugin before 0.3.0 allows author level and above users to add HTML into a post/page, which could allow users with the contributor role and above to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks.
A vulnerability was identified in tarteaucitron.js, allowing a user with high privileges (access to the site's source code or a CMS plugin) to enter a URL containing an insecure scheme such as javascript:alert(). Before the fix, URL validation was insufficient, which could allow arbitrary JavaScript execution if a user clicked on a malicious link.
Impact An attacker with high privileges could insert a link exploiting an insecure URL scheme, leading to: - Execution of arbitrary JavaScript code - Theft of sensitive data through phishing attacks - Modification of the user interface behavior
Fix https://github.com/AmauriC/tarteaucitron.js/commit/2fa1e01023bce2e4b813200600bb1619d56ceb02 The issue was resolved by enforcing strict URL validation, ensuring that they start with http:// or https:// before being used.
A vulnerability was identified in tarteaucitron.js, where the addOrUpdate function, used for applying custom texts, did not properly validate input. This allowed an attacker with direct access to the site's source code or a CMS plugin to manipulate JavaScript object prototypes, leading to potential security risks such as data corruption or unintended code execution.
Impact An attacker with high privileges could exploit this vulnerability to: - Modify object prototypes, affecting core JavaScript behavior, - Cause application crashes or unexpected behavior, - Potentially introduce further security vulnerabilities depending on the application's architecture.
Fix https://github.com/AmauriC/tarteaucitron.js/commit/74c354c413ee3f82dff97a15a0a43942887c2b5b The issue was resolved by ensuring that user-controlled inputs cannot modify JavaScript object prototypes.
A vulnerability was identified in tarteaucitron.js, where user-controlled inputs for element dimensions (width and height) were not properly validated. This allowed an attacker with direct access to the site's source code or a CMS plugin to set values like 100%;height:100%;position:fixed;, potentially covering the entire viewport and facilitating clickjacking attacks.
Impact An attacker with high privileges could exploit this vulnerability to: - Overlay malicious UI elements on top of legitimate content, - Trick users into interacting with hidden elements (clickjacking), - Disrupt the intended functionality and accessibility of the website.
Fix https://github.com/AmauriC/tarteaucitron.js/commit/25fcf828aaa55306ddc09cfbac9a6f8f126e2d07 The issue was resolved by enforcing strict validation and sanitization of user-provided CSS values to prevent unintended UI manipulation.
