Executive brief
MotoPress Hotel Booking Lite, a WordPress plugin used for managing property rentals, contains a security flaw that allows users with certain permissions to inject malicious scripts into the website. These scripts are saved on the server and will run in the browser of any visitor who views the affected accommodation pages. This could lead to unauthorized actions being performed in a visitor's browser or the theft of sensitive session information.
Technical details
A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in MotoPress Hotel Booking Lite version 4.2.4 due to improper neutralization of user-supplied input. Authenticated attackers with permissions to create or edit accommodation types can inject malicious JavaScript into the 'title' and 'excerpt' parameters. Because this input is stored in the database and later rendered without sufficient sanitization on the public-facing accommodations page, the script executes in the context of any user's browser who visits that page. This is tracked as CWE-79 and can be exploited over the network with low administrative privileges.
